Hola familia y amigos,

I just want to start off by saying that I know Heavenly Father loves each and every one of us and with that has made a perfect plan so that we can experience all of the joy and blessings that He has and enjoys. This week I have been able to reflect a lot on that and have seen how the Lord blesses us when we are down. He is always extending his hands, we just have to be willing to reach up and take them.

The work is going super great. I have seen that working with members is something so important in this work! When the missionaries work with the members, something changs and the lessons are so much more meaningful and powerful. The members here in Capitan all really want us to work with them and visit their friends. This week we continued to work with Ronald, a member, and his step son Fransisco. It's pretty amazing to see how much he has opened up and how he now lets us share with him. We have also been working a lot with their neighbor Maria. She is doing super well and has started to gain a testimony that the Book of Mormon is true. She told us about how she has prayed to know if what we were sharing was true and she felt good about the things she was taught. We shared with her Alma 32, and how if she keeps excercising her faith and doing the things Heavenly Father has asked her to do her testimony will grow and she will know for a surety that it is true. During a lesson with her yesterday, it was just awesome to hear Ronald bear testimony on how the Book of Mormon has helped him to change. He is such a strong convert to the church. It also helped me to see how powerful the Book of Mormon is. I can say that I don't have any doubts that it is true. When I read it, I feel a greater desire to follow the Savior and become better. I know that anyone who really reads it with intent and with a desire to know, will feel of that same power. I love the Lord and know He loves me and all of you. I hope you all have a great week, and can read the most powerful, and impactful book there is on the Earth! Love you all.
