Today I spent a ton of time online working on the good ol' college applications. It sufficeth to say; I done work!
Sadly, because I was so set on getting things for my future figured out this afternoon, this week's letter may be a little short. But my companion is still working on his letter home, so I'll see what I can type out in the next couple minutes. :)
As always, I had an incredible week. :)
One of the cool things that happened was that at the beginning of the week we went and dropped off some Liahona's (the church magazine for the rest of the world outside of Utah. ha) at Paco and Yamilka's house. I think I mentioned last week that Paco was almost done with the Gospel Principles book... So they were getting low on reading material! haha. Plus, Yamilka was dying for a copy of the October General Conference edition.
We couldn't get our hands on the Conference talks, but we found an old Conference Liahona, and a bunch of other ones from past months and years in the Library at the church. So we took them a bunch!
Obviously, being the diligent investigators they are, they started reading articles and talks that very night! Well, get this! We went over there on Friday night and randomly decided to share about Charity: The pure love of Christ. We read some verses from Moroni 7, and some more from 1 Corinthians, and then Yamilka raised her hand. ha. (sometimes she's sheepish like that in lessons. ha. But we love her anyway). She said "the night you brought these magazines over I read an article on service and a quote has been stuck in my head ever since! I've gone back and read it over and over again, and now look! Today we're talking about the same subject!" ha. It was way cool! She read the quote to us, and bore her testimony (ended with In the Name of Jesus Christ and ALL; yup, that's how awesome our investigators are!) about the fact that there are no coincidences. She felt the Spirit and had a reconfirmation that Charity and Service are the only ways to truly understand the love that God feels for us. :)
Guys, I love helping other people feel the Spirit. :) Being a conduit of the Holy Ghost is the greatest feeling in the world. I can personally testify that if we will be obedient to the commandments, we will have the Spirit of the Lord at our side. And He will guide and prompt us to help His children feel of His redeeming love.

I love and miss you all. Don't ever forget that our Heavenly Father loves you and wants what's best for you. He's there, and He WILL help you. You just have to ask. :)
Have a great week!
