Scripture Power!

So, how's it going!

haha. This was an awesome, crazy week! It was a good time, though. There was a specialized conference that the assistants planned, and President Arrington asked me to prepare a powerpoint to teach the song scripture power in spanish to all the missionaries, so that was a dream. haha. But we said scripture power in english because that's how they wanted it. It was honestly a blast, and I got to make a really fun powerpoint and this week I get to send out the music to all the Zone leaders so they can sing it as a zone. Talk about a fun party for me! But to be honest it was pretty stressful, we got to help with all the logistics of the conference: food, tables, silverware, a survey about how the missionaries wash their clothes and a lot of other stuff. And it was so cool because one of them was out in the country in Chillán and it's pretty out there. 

Also, we have a sweet investigator, Giovana, she's the mom of Hna Viviana, she got baptized like 2 months ago. Giovana is awesome, she went to church last sunday and she's commited to go tomorrow, she's not married, but her boyfriend of 32 years has proposed to her before and she said no (also her bf is an inactive member) But she commited to talk to him about getting married and him getting active in the church again and we'll see how it went today! 

We found another new investigator named Elsa, but she's kind of blah, but we invited her to go to church, and if she goes I think there will be a good chance that she's awesome. :)

Also, there are definitely perks to being in the office, like driving, and the assistants are our best friends so we got to go see a beautiful place this morning! So you'll see some sweet pictures of that!

As a mission we are reading the book of mormon together, as I believe I already mentioned maybe, and also are memorizing scriptures together. This week it was john 3:16-17 For god so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son, that he who believeth in him would not be lost, but would have eternal life. Or it should be close to that, some things get lost in translation probably. But the point is that there is a strength that we find in the scriptures, our testimonies have more power behind them, our feelings about the Savior and the restoration of His church are deepened and our understanding of how to live and teach the gospel become broader. I hope and pray that you are all "treasuring up the words of eternal life" every day, and I pray that I never forget to do it again. I love you all a whole bunch and hope you have a fantastic week!

Love,
