9/25/17 - Isn't It So Amazing?!?!

This week was so great!! We went to the temple for the first time in a year.  Wow I am never going to take the temple for granted again. There is just something incredible about the feeling inside. I didn't want to leave, I felt the Spirit and knew the church is just so true. Isn't it so amazing?!?! 

We had a ward activity for references and President Stauffer came and put it on. I look up to this man like none other. He is my inspiration - he's so kind and cheerful and so animated and powerful and he's only 48 and a Mission President. I did a baptismal interview and he needed to talk to one of the counselors of president or President Stauffer himself. He was leaving and he asked me how it went and I told him and he said  "I've got 20 minutes, find me a room and call him vamos!!!!" We need to be more animated in this work, more alive - it's true and its incredible!!!! You all need to give references to the missionaries. The trick is to pray and ask who would benefit form this gospel, then without fear write their name down. 

It's insane to think how much I'm changing and how far I've come. I'm getting frustrated with my Spanish, but patience is so important. I love the scriptures so much. They are so true and they really are inspired from God. We need to read them every week -it s so important. 

Love,
