What a week this has been!! I still love being a missionary and the language is coming along just great!!
We taught a lesson this week to an old man named Jesus Salvador about prayer, it took him a while to understand that we didn't memorize our prayers, but that they were words from our heart. Eventually we got him to say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father for help with his problems and he was moved to tears. It was great to see him get closer to his Father in Heaven. I hope we'll be able to teach him more.
Elida came to General Conference on Saturday and stayed longer than she said she could because she was too curious about what these people had to say. I think she really enjoyed watching and we will probably mark her for baptism this week!
General Conference was absolutely amazing! And I got to listen to it in English which was an awesome blessing. Being a missionary and hearing the words of the prophets is a million times better than at home! I especially liked the talk by Brent H. Nielson when he said that we are all like the prodigal son trying to get back to our Father in Heaven. We are all struggling together and we all need the saving power of the atonement in our lives.
What a great week! I love the work here and I love getting to talk to everyone about the gospel. Sister Bakker and I have goals to have the best transfer ever and we are both willing to completely give ourselves to the Lord. I know that He is watching over us and if we are exactly obedient, we will see so many miracles.
I love being a missionary and I know this gospel is true! I hope you all had a chance to remember our Savior this Easter. Have a great week!!
