Onward ever onward!

March 2, 2015

Hello dear family! 

Thank you for all of your wonderful and supportive emails. Sadly today I am not going to have time to respond to each one of you individually because we had to take a Preach my Gospel test and I am running out of time to email. I love you all so much. I appreciate your love more than you can imagine. 

Everything is going great here! I will admit that some days are very frustrating. Sometimes it's hard to work as we should with the members but we are getting better! We are also running very low on sleep because of our calling. As you all very well know sleep is so important. :) I know that trials and temptations are part of the great test we are going through here on Earth. NEVER GIVING UP is so important. I know that through Jesus Christ we can overcome anything if we do our part. 

We are teaching a man named Arturo. He is a very good man and has great desires to know the truth. He came for the third time to church on Sunday! He also wants to go with the ward to the temple on the 13th! He still is waiting for an answer from our Heavenly Father to know if the Book of Mormon is true. 

We are also teaching a less active Mom named Sister Maldonado and her 10 yr old non member daughter Laura. Laura has a baptism goal for the 14th of this month. We are making sure that her mom is active before she is baptised. They are doing great reading the Book of Mormon and they are making great changes in their lives! It is awesome. 

We are also teaching 16 yr old Alberto. He is the brother of a recient convert. We still need to teach him a lot but he has come to church twice now. The goal is that he can be baptised this month. 

Finally we were able to have a lesson with Fanny's Dad. It was very spiritual. His name is Mario. He is taking his time and really analyzing everything. Fanny's parents have both noted the change in Fanny and her way of living. Her mom Rosa shared with us that before Fanny used to get angry when she was asked to do something but now that she is a member of the Church she volunteered to take her little brother to school without even being asked. That was really special to hear. We want so badly to help her parents follow her example and be baptised so that they can have an eternal family.

Please keep these people in your prayers. I love you all so much. I can't believe how time is flying. I hope that I can become more like Jesus Christ these months that I have left. Have the best week ever! Remember who is King! :)

Love Elder Conover

P.S I will send pictures next week of our adventures at the beach today! 

P.P.S This Wednesday we are having a conference with Elder Duncan from the area presidency! On the 14th Elder Anderson from the quorum of the 12 Apostles is coming to give a talk with us and the other mission! :) We are pumped!
