Another stupendous week

I feel like every week in the mission my weekly emails get shorter and shorter...oops. But as always, it was another stupendous week in Morelia. One day we were walking down the street and the name of a man we met the other week came to my mind. I looked for his address in my agenda and sure enough, we were right in front of his house. We knocked on the door, and when he opened the door, you could tell he was struggling emotionally. We sat down and he expressed to us many of the problems he´s been going through. He told us that just minutes before, he had been praying to God to know the purpose of his life. We were able to share a message of the Plan of Salvation and a little later, the elders were able to help us out by giving him a Priesthood blessing. It was super powerful. And this weekend, he was there on Sunday to listen to the conference. I love how the Lord places us in the lives of the people that need us in the perfect moment. There´s so many people that have so many difficulties, but the gospel applies to all of us, no matter what we´re going through, and our Heavenly Father listens to our prayers. 

We´re going to have to post-pone Ruben´s baptism another week cause some legal papers they need to get married haven´t gotten here yet, but it´s all good, all in the Lord´s time. He had his baptismal interview this last week and was super nervous. He showed up to the interview reviewing flash cards he made haha, but he passed without any problem. I love all my investigators so much and it makes me so happy to see them progressing along this path to eternal life. We found a bunch of new investigators this week, and even though I don´t even know them super well, I love them all. For example, yesterday we decided to knock on doors and the first door we knocked on let us in (a true miracle right there) and after getting to know them a little, we shared a short message of the atonement and restoration of the gospel. By the end of the lesson I felt like I was in the home of some long lost friends. And while we were talking and eating some cookies with milk, it came to my mind that perhaps we are long lost friends, from the pre-earth life. I´m convinced I promised many of these people that I´d find them here on earth and share with them this gospel. 

Other events from the week include another 8 hour trip to Lazaro Cardenas, eating some delicious chocolate from a wonderful Easter Package sent from my lovely mother,  and listening to a wonderful conference that I hope you all got to see too! I seriously love our prophet so much and I´m so grateful that we have leaders to help lead and guide us. May we all keep our destination in mind, and make our decisions according to this eternal goal. 

Love you all,
