Taco-bout the Gospel: The pearl of great price

I am absolutely super duper happy everyone. Seriously this week was just fantastic. I'm going to kick off the letter with why the title is what it is. the pearl of great price is indeed scripture BUT this is more about the pearl of great price in missionary work. We struck gold. We found new investigators. We are seeing the fruits of our labors! it's quite the story to be honest so hang in here with me:

Back in December Hna Ojeda and I found a less active. We taught her and her son one time. After we

could never find her. One day in the beginning of my time with Hna Meza, we found her outside her house. We made an appointment and visited when she could. So basically Fridays. She told us that she wanted to have her son and daughter learn more about God and become closer to him. Well we started teaching them! Melissa (12) and Bruno (9) and seriously so great. not to mention that we are reactivating the mom! She is soooo happy to be taking this journey again. Shes reading the book of Mormon and this is the best part. THEY ALL WENT TO CHURCH!! yes you read that correct! we had investigators in the church! The first time the mom has gone to church after 16 years!! I cant express how happy I am. I seriously have a super strong love for this family. Sometimes you wonder how you can love complete strangers in such little time but I'm telling you it's a real thing. i love the people of mexico 100%.

Ok as for the rest of the week, well we found more people! we fasted last week and that's when there weren't any investigators in the church. BUT we saw the answers to our prayers Wednesday. we found 3 different families. We ended up finding the references we had and visited some streets we usually just pass by. Evidence that you have to look in every nook and cranny of your area to find the pearl of great price.

We were able to watch the general women's conference and man how great was it! talked a ton about service and that just makes me love the work here so much more! I am so grateful to be serving my savior and God. I know that service is the way to become more Like Him :)

Also we had interviews with President this week. what a great man. he just encourages and gives the greatest advice. how wonderful to have a little one on one time with the mission pres.

We also had intercambios. nothing super new and exciting. I was with an american sister and its probably funny to see 2 white girls speaking Spanish together haha. We did speak a tad bit of English ion the house but it's becoming a real struggle to speak English haha

Well that's about it! living the life here in Mexico! so grateful to serve the people here. I know Christ is the son of the living God and that Christ LIVES!!!

Have a great week and love you all!
