It's 2014 Already?

It was so great to Skype with you last week :) I love you all so much! I hope you all had a great week! Happy New Year! I can't believe it's already 2014. Let us all strive to really focus on missionary work and being a friend to those in need.

This week was great! Hermana Timalach is making a lot of progress. Hermano Velarde has been coming over with us and really helping us TEACH the restoration. She feels like she is really starting to understand the scriptures better and has more of a desire to learn. She is still preparing for baptism but doesn't feel ready yet. She really is ready, so we are just praying she will know it for herself. She did tell us she had a mini revelation the other day and KNOWS her faith is growing. She is so ready, but we are just helping her to feel the spirit and being patient. Hermano Timalach said one of the most humble prayers I have ever heard. I just wish you could all meet them. They are the best family ever. We love being with them and watching them grow TOGETHER in the gospel. There is nothing more beautiful. 

I have had the opportunity to review conference talks and I am learning so much. We are so blessed and I am so grateful we have a living prophet and apostles. The scripture of the week for me is Helaman 3:35 
No obstante, aayunaron y boraron frecuentemente, y se volvieron más y más fuertes en su chumildad, y más y más firmes en la fe de Cristo, hasta henchir sus almas de gozo y de consolación; sí, hasta la dpurificación y esantificación de sus corazones, santificación que viene de fentregar el corazón a Dios.
( 35 Nevertheless they did afast and bpray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their chumility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the dpurifying and the esanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their fyielding their hearts unto God.)

So Dulce (our less active 14 year old) has been having some struggles these past two weeks. We have been able to help the family out and added her mom Dalia as an investigator. She loves having us over and feels the spirit we bring. We were able to go over with the Elders and Hermano Ku and they gave her a blessing of comfort and the spirit was so strong. She came to church this week too. She is starting to notice that she needs to be the example for her kids and her heart is starting to soften. It is such a blessing.

We went over to the Lopez's Christmas eve and they gave us soccer jerseys with our names on them. What? So nice of them and the best present ever! After, as a family we all went to the park and played soccer. It was so much fun! Also, everyone loves the snowballs from Bob Midgley. We have been playing a lot of scatter ball with them as missionaries on p-days for sports. So fun. 

Have a great week!
