I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go: Pascua y Principe de paz

HOLA! Cómo han estado?

Tuvimos una semana asombroso! Queríamos encontrar cuatro investigadores nuevos, y encontramos cinco! Estoy tratando usar el idioma en cada oportunidad, entonces estoy usándolo en mi carta semanal.

We had an amazing week! We wanted to find four new investigators, and we found five! We worked really hard to talk with everyone, and the Lord blessed us!

On Monday, we found, Juan, our first new investigator. He is awesome! He moved here from Texas. He promised God that he would go to church, and then we showed up two weeks later. It's a bummer because he's moving to Lexington, but he wants to Spanish Elders to teach him! Yes!

Tuesday was great! We had a lesson with sweet Angie. She's a recent convert and loves to share the gospel with her family. She's a great example to us! We worked in Winchester for a lot of the day and had a split lesson with Alex and Carlos. Alex is a less-active, and Carlos is a recent convert. He is preparing to receive his endowment. So neat! Alex is struggling to know what is truth and where to find it. I was able to teach him about the plan of salvation and invite him to pray to know what God wants for him.

The rest of the week was crazy busy! The weather was nice so there were a lot of people out. We were able to find the rest of our investigators as we strived to get out and talk with as many people as we could. We found Cirilo in La Esperanza, a Mexican tienda. He is so great. He lost contact with missionaries a few years ago, and he's ready to be taught again. He has some health issues right now, so we're hoping that through receiving a priesthood blessing he will be able to feel better.

It has been so wonderful to share #PrinceofPeace in preparation for Easter. We were able to share it with a lot of people and help them to feel of the peace that comes from knowing the Christ lives and that He overcame death.

My dad shared this Ensign article with me this week, and I wanted to pass it along. It has helped me know acknowledge the influence of Satan so that I can combat it. My favorite line in Elder Lawrence's talk says "The devil targets all men, but especially those who have the most potential for eternal happiness." Do not allow Satan to tamper with your happiness. He is the father of lies. He slyly puts messages into our minds that tear us down, but we might not even realize that it's him. I particularly like Elder Lawrence's explanation about counterfeits. Read it! You'll like it! The more I learn about Satan's influence, the more I know how much I need spiritual strength. For me, I know that spiritual strength comes from studying the Book of Mormon every day, praying to my Heavenly Father for His guidance and protection, and attending church each week to renew my baptismal covenants and to repent of the shortcomings from the week. D&C 10:5 "Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work."

Our way cool jackets that Brother Young let us wear. They're missionary appropriate, right?

Can someone explain?

Funny story. We found a less-active in our area book who is age 71+. We asked a couple of members if they knew her, and they said they didn't. I joked that maybe she has passed on. We plugged her address into our GPS.......and it took us here. (We found out later that the GPS actually took us two streets away from the actual address.)
