Saturday night session was all about missionary work and I got to bear my testimony! :) I was kind of nervous going into the conference... this is being broadcasted to all the islands!! Then I got even more nervous when I realized the whole conference was about missionary work and I was the only missionary speaking. Dang. Luckily, all went well! Phew, deep breaths! I got up there and just saw all the faces of all the members that I love so much and it was just like bearing my testimony in a lesson... plus there are perks when God is on your side. I honestly don´t remember what I said... haha but I think that was mainly the nerves. Then the Sunday session of Stake Conference was a broadcasting from Salt Lake... Elder Ballard and some 70s talked to us. It was for all the stakes in Spain, Portugal and Cape Verde. Kind of fun!!!
One fun little thing... so I usually write notes to all the
members who bear their testimonies on Sundays...so Brother "G" came up
to me after the meeting thanked me for my testimony and gave me a thank
you note :) Tender moments. Love the members here!!
Also, all the missionaries on our island (there are 10 of us...)
sang ´El ejercito de Helaman´(Army of Helaman) and it was really cool!!
haha Only problem was that my comp and I were the only girls...
so we had to sing really loud... and I am not a singer! haha
So
the work here is great!! We are finding and teaching a lot of great
people with a lot of great potential! This week we talked a lot about
how every one of our investigators has just something in the way of
getting baptized. We´ve been trying really hard to improve our teaching
and really bring the spirit so they know how great the spirit can feel
and truly have a desire to have that spirit with them always. (aka..
through baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost). I know that God can work
miracles but we have to ask him for his help. We are trying really hard
to emphasize praying with real intent. If all of our investigators
truly prayed with real intent I know that they would feel the difference
and really work towards baptism!! :) So that is what we are working
with!!!
"Y" is great as always... she talked to her boyfriend this week
about marriage... so she is one step closer!! Woohoo!! She really feels
the drive to get baptized so her family can receive all the blessings
of the gospel and also so she can do the temple work for her grandpa...
she really understands what it means to come unto Christ! She came to
Stake Conference and smiled at us as I bore my testimony- and as we
sang. She is so cute!!
Anyway... Lots of great things are happening here!! Love, love, love it!!! Have a great week!!!!
Un besito!
