Que rrrollo perrrros?

This week was super great! We had our zone conference, and everything worked out really good! It was great to have President and Sister Cahoon with our zone for a couple of days! We also had our District Conference. It went really good. I got to translate for Sister Cahoon for about two hours! It was such a cool experience, kind of tiring though haha. It was so cool because every time that I translated someone’s testimony for her; I felt like I was bearing my own testimony; I could feel the Spirit so immensely! 

I am so excited for General Conference! I have been preparing so very much, hope you all are doing the same! When Elder Bednar was talking to us a couple of weeks ago he told us to just take small notes like the small plates! So, after he said that I started to read the Book of Mormon once again while taking small notes in a little notebook. I have just been noting down main characters and prophesy and other things that catch my attention. Over this past month or so, I have almost finished the Book of Mormon once again. My plan is to finish it by Friday so that I will be ready for General Conference on Saturday and Sunday! My plan is to read over all of my notes quickly before General Conference and that way when ever a story is told from the Book of Mormon, or whenever anyone is mentioned from the Book of Mormon, I will know exactly who they are talking about and exactly what happened in each story! Love the Book of Mormon so much! 

During zone conference, President Cahoon talked a little bit about the difference between a converted Missionary and a Missionary with a testimony. He talked about how a converted Missionary always wakes up at 6:30 and how a Missionary with a testimony does not. I have never had a problem waking up on time, but over these past couple of days I have been pondering this a lot thinking of how I can come even more converted as a missionary, a member of this church, and as a priesthood holder. One thing I know for sure is that the small and simple things are so very important! I was also thinking about how converted missionaries always look and take advantage of every opportunity to teach and find, while missionaries with testimonies only teach and find when they have appointments or half heartily make a couple of attempts to contact people during the day! Lately, I have been looking for every opportunity to teach and find. I have never felt more lost in the work; I feel great! 

We have this way cool investigator named Carlos.  He is 22 and high key wants to go on a mission and everything! We are planning on baptizing him this week, along with two kids we are teaching! We will see what happens though! Should be a great week.

Much love,
