Hola! Hope that you are all doing well. Here in Las Cabras, everything is good. This week we Zone Conference, Zone training, and this weekend was the San Fernando District conference. So we have been traveling a lot again, and stayed in the Pichidegua house on Friday night and the San Fernando house on Saturday night. But all the conferences and events were really great and inspiring to help us work better. The work has been moving along in Las Cabras. We have found a few new solid investigators and are excited to work with them. One is named Jose Luis and accepted to be baptised on April 16th. His wife died about a year ago, so the Gospel can really bless him. Also this week we have been sharing a new video that the Church made for Easter: #Aleluya (or #Hallelujah in English). Its really powerful and talks about the new life we can find through Jesus Christ. We showed it to one new investigator named Gonzalo and he was really touched by the Spirit. He had seen false things online abou...
While the autumn months are bringing a passing of nature, General Conference this weekend compels every listener to make a fresh start. Cheesy sentence yes, but complex sentence? Also yes. Thank you English. Anyway for those who have no idea what "General Conference" means, it is a worldwide Mormon event that occurs every six months. In it, the living Prophets and Apostles of this time speak to members of the Church and anyone else who cares to listen. Yes we believe in a living Prophet, but no he's not a dinosaur left over from the first century AD or anything. He's just a man called by God to be the Prophet, but that's a whole different topic. So General Conference is an event in Salt Lake City that is broadcasted all over the world and delivers inspiration and doctrine to those that watch. Each speaker at Conference is not assigned a topic and can pick to speak about whatever they feel needs to be spoken about. However, I find it interest...
Hola hola! Its been another great week, but today was a particularly great day! So here in Las Cabras, theres just a giant hill right next to town. We have always kind of wanted to climb up, but never knew where to start. We were talking with a friend on Saturday, and he told us where the trailhead was, so we decided to go for it. We went with Elder Waters (my MTC companion) and Elder Vasquez (who I lived with in San Clemente) and climbed up the hill today! It was a super steep "trail" but it was way fun. The view from the top was incredible! We could see Las Cabras surrounded by crop fields and the valley on the other side full of other crops. It was super cool. We did a little barbecue on top and had a great day. I would send pics but Im on a ghetto computer and I dont know if I trust putting my camera in. Im always good for an analogy, so maybe our little hike can be an analogy. In life we have to enjoy the journey and remember our goal. It was a steep climb, but we wanted...
