More Time Please!

Como les va familia y amiguitos!!?

It was a great week here in Tiza! Weve been sprinting all over our area for a bunch of lessons every day! God has blessed us with a lot of people who are progressing well. We ended the week super tired from getting home late every night but I wouldnt have it any other way! The best feeling is at the end of the day, feeling super satisfied with all the work. We need more than 24 hours in a day to get to everyone! Thats a good problem to have though. Today has definitely been a blessing to rest a little bit more and prepare for another week!

The Lord has placed us into the path of really great people who are so willing to learn about the gospel! Many of them were able to go to church yesterday. Im super excited to invite everyone to general conference this weekend though, its gonna be awesome!

The highlight of my week was a lesson we had last night. We were teaching the Islas family. The family consists of the dad, the mom, and three daughters. The dad's brother is a member and returned missionary who is also married with a member and they also have a few kids. It was like our third lesson, and we watched the restoration movie with them. After the movie, we focused on talking about the book of mormon because thats what interests the dad most. We talked about it and then invited the dad's brother to share his testimony of the book. He shared such a powerful testimony about how his conversion. His parents kicked him out and disowned him when he told them he got baptized. He also talked about when his first wife, who he is sealed with and everything, died in his own arms from her cancer. But through all the trials, the gospel is the only reason he got through it. Everyone was in tears, and the spirit was super strong. I think it was a great wake up call for the family to realize that the gospel is real, and they need to do their part to get their testimony. I love the mission!
