Hola todos!
*Warning**Novel Incoming*Soooo many things this week. I am going to try my best to keep it shortish, but it's just been a crazy week. It's wierd, we started this week thinking it was just going to be a little lackluster, because we had a meeting every single day, and had to do a lot of other things, so we never really had any time to like do missionary work, but it ended up being amazing! I'm just gonna get into some stuff, so I don't rant too much.First off, we didn't really find anyone (the whole no time for real missionary work thing), but we made some really cool progress with a bunch of Investigators we are currently teaching! Fist off, pretty big one: Lisa got baptized!!! It's been one wild ride, she has been through so much crap. From her husband dying to her kids taking her house to depression and addictions and so many other things, but she has risk above it all! She has one of the strongest testimonies of the Lord I have ever known. She is also super kind and loving and honestly I want to cry knowing I will be leaving her, she is not good with emails, so looks like I'm gonna get used to snail mail again! Next, we've got Stephanie, she is really really awesome, and loves our message and the Book of Mormon, we brought a member that has the almost exact same crazy back story that she has, so she has been amazing. We then got a message from her saying that she was talking with a friend going through some stuff, who explained that she had not been to church in a few years, and she told the friend that she would go to church with her to help her out, and she's a Mormon! It was really awesome to hear, so she will be going to church with her, which is awesome! Next we've got Zulmy, we brought a member to her house for our last lesson, and she got along really well, we had to leave before she was ready to go too, haha. We got a text later that day saying that Zulmy is coming over to eat dinner tonight and we should come XD so that's awesome! She also told us that she loves when we come over and pray for her, she says it has helped a ton in her life!Next, can't remember if I explained this last time, but I am a "technology specialist" so I had to go to two big meetings and explain to all of the missionaries how to use smartphones, so that was entertaining. I was quite surprised to realize how many millennials don't know how to put a battery into a phone the right way. Other than that, the meetings were pretty nice, had a good time.Now to explain the subject. So, Elder Stevenson visited our mission, along with the Presiding Bishop (Bishop Caussé) and two members of the 70 (elder Klebengot and elder Carter). They all gave amazing trainings and I learned a TON! I have never met an apostle face to face, so it was amazing to see him, talk with him, shake his hand, and feel the power of God just glowing from him. It was absolutely amazing. To explain the subject though, for whatever reason, during the final hymn, all of the missionaries sang like we were in a profesional choir and it sounded absolutely AMAZING, the spirit hit us all like a truck, and Elder Stevenson started to cry, followed by Elder Carter, our mission president, and his wife, it was crazy. Really, really good day!I will cut it off here, it was an amazing week, between the apostle and Lisa's Baptism! I can't believe how strongly I've felt the spirit this week. It's been amazing! I wish I had some specific words of advice I could leave you with, but there was just so many things. If I had to choose, something I loved was: Heavenly Father will never do for you what you can do for yourself, but then he will do everything that you need him to, after you have done what you can! It's just a simple awesome principle that I love! Thank you all again for everything yall do for me! I love you, and I love Heavenly Father! It's been such an amazing spiritual week, and hope you all can have an amazing week this time around! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!<3 Elder Fox
