This week has been amazing. Although we have not had baptisms, we have been finding people who are ready to listen and want to change their lives. The Lord has really played a role in putting us in the right place at the right time.

The other day, I was dying of thirst. Normally I just endure it and wait till we get home, but this day I thought 'we should ask for water from a member'. So we went and she had a friend over. We ended up sharing a small message and it turns out that she wants to learn more about the church! How incredible! Small miracles. They add up to Salvation!

Have been blessed to learn a lot this week and to have a wonderful time with my companion. As normally is the trend, when we have learned all that we needed to learn, the Lord gives us a new challenge. Although I still feel like there is a lot of good I could do in this area, the Lord knows that I have other work to do. Tomorrow I leave Tesoro and go to...who knows where.

I can't help wondering what my next area be like. My next companion...my next challenges. But, they will all be for my good.

Yesterday we watched the General Women's Conference. It was amazing! With all the women of the church who have made the covenant of baptism watching, it was a very very special conference. I could not tell you what the talks were about exactly, because I had other thoughts mulling around in my head, but the Spirit was strong throughout and I felt a warm peace and joy to participate in it. During one of the songs, where women from different parts of the world sang, they showed people from Guatemala!! They were singing in Ketchi...or Quiche. I always confuse the two! We were super excited to see them singing. And I liked the idea that my friends and family watching could see a little piece of Guatemala!

I'll be sure to update everyone next week about where I'm at and with whom. For now, I have to get going. I love the mission! :)
