Week 35 Marugame: ごちそうさまでした

こんにちは皆さん！

general conference wAs most definitely a feast! i have never been so

empowered and uplifted by a general conference in these my many years

as a Creature on this earth. and what made it even better is that we

were able to have our investigator jesus chaparro come to all 10 hours

of general Conference! it was insanE! i think that my first time I sat

through all 10 hours of general conference was in the mtc. and here he

is as an investigator Powering through to the end like a champion! he

didn't even fall asleep once! i am so proud of him words can't even

describe! we talked with him afterwards and discussed how he felt

during it all and he talked about feeling Tingling in his heart and

all over several times throughout the conference and also that it was

cool how sometimes he would have talks touch him in ways where he

would learn things that weren't even the things that were technically

being said at the time. why is he not baptized!? i am literally so

amazed by Him. we are planning to really help him accept the call to

baptism at our next appoIntment which will be this wednesday. i am so

excited! he has truly taught me what it means to teach by the Spirit.

i can't even tell you how many times we have been teaching him and

scriptures will pop into me and my companion's mind and we will go to

them before we are even sure if they relate to what we are teaching,

and then it is the very exact thing that he needed to hear, or it is

the perfect answer to a question that he had just had. this gospel is

so real and the spirit is So powerful that it is unbelieveable.

actually it is not unbelieveable it is 100% believeable and that is

what we are trying to show each and every person that we teach. this

gospel is perfect and it is orgAnized and directed by a perfect being

even jesus christ. and the book of mormon is so true, and the prophet

joseph smith was so divinely Chosen, and the savior jesus christ and

his teachings aRe so amazing that it makes this gospel unImaginably

believeable. and i am grateful with all of my heart for the blessing

and miracle that it has been in my life to have the knowledge and

testimony that i do of this restored gospel of my savior jesus christ.

i love him with all oF my heart and desIre above all else to serve and

follow him. i know that he lives and that this path is the only path

to everlasting joy and happiness. the Church is true. i am so grateful

for all of you and love and miss you all so much.

have a great Easter week!
