I hope you all had an amazing conference weekend! It is truly amazing to hear the prophet and apostles speak to us. My favorite was Elder Uchtdorf. I swear that whenever he talks, it's like he has been following me around for a month or two and then gives a message just for me! I also loved the surfing talk. When he started to talk about the local, I immediately laughed out loud in the quiet conference room. I immediately imagined dad saying, "aw! They decided to mention me in this talk!" My companion didn't get the joke. Ha. Well I wanted to share a really cool experience we had this week. About a month ago, a 16 year old boy was hit by a train. I'm not really sure the details, all I know is that he was playing with his friends and then the accident happened. We received his mother as a referral. We weren't really sure what to expect, but we went and visited her. She let us right in, and within two minutes was crying is our arms. As missionaries, we are truly blessed to be able to be blessed with such sacred moments. Since then, we have been visiting her. This week, we decided to teach her about the Book of Mormon and how it answers questions to the soul. I was studying that morning in preach my gospel about how it does and decided to try it out for myself. I randomly opened the Book and read a chapter that answered my questions perfectly. In the lesson, Gloria broke down and told us her question was that she wanted to know where her son was. We handed her the book and she quickly opened the Book of Mormon in tears. She opened up and read, "21 And the day soon cometh that your mortal must put on immortality, and these bodies which are now moldering in corruption must soon become incorruptible bodies; and then ye must stand before the judgment-seat of Christ, to be judged according to your works; and if it so be that ye are righteous, then are ye blessed with your fathers who have gone before you." I got chillsies all over! We testified that she would be able to be with her son again, who had left this world before her. She smiled and we saw peace enter into her heart. She told us she wanted to continue to read it. I want to bear testimony of the Book of Mormon and that it can answer the deepest questions of our soul! I invite each of you to try this out this week. Write down a question, open the book, and see the Lord answer you before you eyes. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and that through it we can find the comfort, answers, and peace we need. It has been such a joy teaching the Zeferino family! I am starting to love those little boys with my whole heart. They came to conference and in the church there is a wall of all the prophets in the church. Hermano Zeferino immediately asked, "Where is Joseph Smith?" Immediately after the 3 little boys ran towards the photo as we showed them and said, "I want to see Joseph Smith!" And then my heart melted. Love you all so much!
