Well,
It´s been another great week! Wow, first of all, how great
was conference! I was able to see all the sessions (menos the priesthood
obviously). It was such an uplifting weekend! I especially loved the messages
of Elder Uchtdorf and the prophet on the plan of salvation and the message
about serving where we are sent. I have been thinking about that. As I am
looking forward to the changes today I am really feeling like I am going out of
Tarapoto but I am excited to see where the Lord would have me go. I was so
inspired!

We also had some great stuff happening this week. I had been
feeling a little bit like I have been in this area so long and I don´t have
really anything to show for it. But I was reminded again this week that the
Lord knows the desires of our hearts and always gives us blessings according to
our obedience. We have been teaching Mary Carmen for a while and she just
hadn´t been wanting to accept a date for her baptism. It was our last effort
Saturday and I invited her and felt strongly that the 29 of October was right
for her. She said she would pray about it. I felt ok but I felt like maybe she
wasn´t going to accept. Then on Sunday we had another lesson with her and she
said she had prayed about it and accepted the date! She said that the 29th was a
special date for her and didn´t know how I had known that, The spirit is our
best guide!
We also had the baptism interview for Carlos Celis, the son
of the less active family that came back to church. Brother Celis went to all
10 hours of conference! And brought his wife too! It was incredible to see. Not
even our branch president or district president did that. Then, after the last
session, he waited outside with us while his son was interviewed. When Carlos
came out with the green light he was so happy and his dad and he hugged and
Brother Celis cried as he spoke of the way that Carlos brought his whole family
back to the church. They both have their sights on the temple.
Felt the Spirit and know that God knows and loves me and
each one of us.
