Dear family and friends,

Well it sounds like you guys have had a good week in this past week and that you have stayed very busy. First off, I got to say happy birthday dad! I hope you had a good birthday and that you guys enjoyed the day, I think mom said that you went to the temple, that is a good way to celebrate the birthday! Also, I want to say good luck to Caitlyn Mccoy as she does her farewell and as she goes to the mission.

This week was an awesome week, we are starting to get a lot of help from the members of the ward. They have been going out with us a lot and visiting our investigators and it has been helping the investigators a lot. Like on friday we left with our ward mission leader to go and teach some investigators, and we went and taught Rosani. In our lesson we shared about the Book of Mormon and we all testified that we knew that it was true. After she stopped us and she asked us how we all got our testimonies, she said you guys all say that you know that the church is true but what happened how did you guys receive your testimonies. And all three of us told her how we received our testimonies, it was very spiritual and she told us that she has felt the same feelings in her heart when she goes to the church and when she shares with us. We told her that it is the Spirit that is telling her that what we teach is true. She has a difficult situation because her husband doesnt want her to get baptized, he doesnt even want her to go to church. Its tough because she has a testimony but we are just going to have to be patient and see if the Lord will softens the guy´s heart. Also, with Maria, Rosani´s mom, we shared with her yesterday and she is going through some trials right now because her mom is really sick and she is about going to die and her dad just died a couple years ago, we explained to her again about the plan of salvation and about how she is going to see her relatives again after this life. She told us that every time she feels bad or disheartened that she starts reading the pamphlets and the Book of Mormon and it always brings peace back into her heart, she also told us that she knows that these things are true. She has a baptismal date for April 6th and she has given up coffee and other things and is right on track to recieve the blessings of baptism. So we are just going to keep working with here and keep helping her through the trials she is having.

Also, yesterday we shared with this mom named  Rosi, she told us that she has shared a lot with a lot of different churches and with a lot of missionaries from other churches but she feels something different when we go by and teach her. She said that their is something special and that she can feel and she hasnt felt it with all the other churches that have passed by. We told her that she wasnt feeling those things because of us the missionaries, but it was because the Holy Ghost is telling her that the message is real and that our words are true, that is why she was feeling those feelings. It is so awesome to be able to be a witness of the Holy Ghost testifying the truth of our words to the people. I know that the message that we share of the restored gospel is true, that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore the fullness of the Gospel to the earth. That the Book of Mormon is the word of God, along with the bible. And I know that my Savior Jesus Christ lives, He lives and through Him we can all live. I love the Savior, and His Gospel its all true, and Im very thankful for the testimony that I have and that has grown so much more here on the mission. So everything is going great here just taking this great message to as many people that are willing to accept it. I love you all and I hope you have a good week this week.
