October 6, 2014 - Congrats Tracie and Brady!

Well, first things first, I just wanted to let T and B know how happy I am for them for their big day this THURSDAY!! The date always looked so far away from this end, but it has come so fast! I am so happy for you, and grateful for the knowledge we have that families are forever. I will be there with you on Thursday!

As for our week here - Great. This past week was crazy with a lot of traveling, conferences both Zone and General, studying, lessons and everything in between. The missionary life is a good one.

Well, General Conference as you all know was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the voice of our beloved Prophet President Thomas S. Monson and all of his counselors. I loved hearing all of the talks and the themes they focused on. I really recognized the focus on Prophets, Personal Testimony, Family, La Santa Cena, and of course our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All of this is possible because of Him. My poor comp probably thinks I am crazy. I just get really excited when this time of year comes around. I am looking forward to reading the messages over, and studying what the Lord would have us hear. Good stuff.

This past week we also had Zone Conference in Sevilla. We spent Tuesday night in the Jerez Elders piso so we could head out bright and early Wednesday morning. All of the speakers were inspired and the spirit was very strong. The APs talked about the model of commitments. Hermana Deere spoke on how to become a happy and healthy missionary. President Deere gave an incredible taller (workshop) on the Atonement of Christ. It was exactly what we needed to hear in preparation for conference. I was also able to see some of my best mission friends including my dudes from Molina Elder Patterson and Webb. I have been blessed with wonderful comps!

When we did have time to work in our area we were very blessed. Here are the basic updates of the week of work! We had a wonderful member present lesson with our investigator on baptism and confirmation - it was just what he needed. He also joined us all day yesterday watching conference in the Stake Center. "I loved the words of Prophet Monson" Me too. On Thursday we threw a great Noche de Hogar with the Rama and Friday we were invited to the mutual as the special guests to teach them how to make brownies. They definitely weren´t moms but they worked! On Friday we were able to set a baptismal date with another one of our investigators. The work is going forward. 

I love you all! Have a great week! Happy wedding TandB!!
