Know what is the best? Seeing the Light start in peoples eyes and watching it grow. It is amazing. For example, this week we met a new investigator. He makes salsa. When we first got to his house, I was pretty sure he only wanted to talk to us about his salsa. But, when we finally got into the lesson, the light began to grow. When we talked about the Holy Ghost and gave him a book of Mormon, he cried. It was amazing. I don´t know why, but its more special when a grown man cries. Probably because girls cry all the time... Who knows.

Another new investigator. He is 19 and studying to become a doctor. We were teaching the restoration and he was so intrigued. He wanted to know more and more. When we talked about Joseph Smith, he thought it was the most amazing thing. When we gave him a Book of Mormon, he held it and looked at it like it was a new born baby. His face was so happy. I am so blessed to get to be here helping the Lords work. 

Also, I love getting to work with the less actives. They are such wonderful people. Everyone just needs a friend. If everyone would just reach out to one another and love one another, we would live in such a happy world. So, I invite you to reach out to 1 person who doesn´t have friends, and BE their friend. They NEED you. I promise. Everyone wants friends, well, I think they all do.... So, be the friend. Be the one who changed someones life because you were there for them. 

One of our less actives we visited this week was in depression. It was so sad. When the spirit told me to say "I have faith in you" I did. And she lit up and asked if I was serious. Of course I was. The next day, she came to church and even bore her testimony. Its amazing what can happen with just simple words. And I know it wasn´t me that got her to come. Try to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Because that's about all we are. When we are trying our hardest, he will help us do the rest. I know that.

I'm not sure what else to write about this week, but I hope all is well! I love you all and hope you are studying your preach my gospel!!
