Week 53

Hello Friends and Family!

First of all, this week we had an amazing lesson with Elena!! We taught her about the Restoration of the gospel and the spirit was super strong as we taught her!! Even with her 6 year old son trying to get our attention the entire time :) haha It was funny because her son just wanted us to come so that he could play with us and wanted me to teach him English. But in the end, we were able to concentrate enough to have an amazing lesson!! When we got to the part where we talked about Joseph Smith, we asked her if she believed that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and she said yes! Then we started talking about the Book of Mormon and telling her how she could get an answer to know if it is true through the Holy Ghost. She responded by telling us that she already knew... she had felt something different, like something moving inside of her... something good... while she was reading the the introduction and so she already knows that it is true!! Wow! She is so amazing!! Elena is going to be baptized on August 29th! 

We also met a woman named Nora walking in the street.  We were walking in one direction and she was walking the other way and my companion stopped and practically started chasing her down (I asked later and she said that she just felt like we needed to follow her to talk to her.)  So we walked with her for a long time and finally, when we got to her destination, she thanked us for walking with her because she was really scared walking alone at night and we were a huge comfort to her.  She said that she would love it if we passed by to share more with her about the gospel! It was great! :)

Welp, I've gotta go! I love you guys!
