Hey family!
Wow sounds like the family reunion was a blast! You did so many great activities. It all sounds really funny also. haha I would have loved being there. Maybe we can go again in a few years. :) I really can´t believe how close we are to being together again. I'm giving it all I´ve got until the very end. It will be so wonderful to see each one of you again.
Things are going beyond great here! We are seing many miracles. Very likely this last week was the most succesful week I have had on my mission. The Lord is helping us and He is preparing the way.
On Thursday Miguel Carbahal´s mother passed away. She lived in the house with them. It's sad she had to pass away but the Mejia Carbahal family has lots of faith and they are handling things well. They know it's part of Heavenly Father's plan. Thursday night they had a viewing in their home and a huge part of the Ward was there giving love and support. We sang hymns by the side of the casket. The spirit was strong. Miguel and Marta were so grateful for the love and support the ward gave. We had talked with them last Tuesday and we found out that they both have their papers to get married! They decided that it would be better to do the wedding this Friday instead of last Friday so they could prepare things better. With the passing of Miguel's mom it all worked out how it needed to. His work gave him the whole weekend off so he was able to join us at Church yesterday. It was so great! It was the first time he has been able to see his son Christian bless the sacrament. Today he is going to talk with his boss and ask to have Sundays off. If he gets work off on Sundays he will be able to be baptised this Saturday with his wife Marta! They are getting married this Friday at 4:00. :) We are praying with all our heart that everything will work out and that his boss will soften her heart and give him Sundays off.
Another awesome thing that happened this last week was we stopped a man who always says hi to us on his bike. We told him who we are and gave him a pamphlet of the Restoration. He was very willing to learn more. We set a date to visit him in his home. My companion went with Elder Streeter because we were on divisions that day but my companion said that he read the whole pamphlet with all of his family and that they loved it! They excitedly accepted the invitation to join us at Church and yesterday we passed by for them and they went with us! The dad's name is Raul and his wife's name is Rosa and they have three little girls. They all came to Church yesterday! Many blessings come from just opening the mouth and proclaming the gospel. Tonight we have FHE with them and the Fernandez family (the members who live right in front of us).
I know more than I ever have before that Heavenly Father has a perfect plan for each one of us. He works in mysterious ways to accomplish his great designs. I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know with all my heart that miracles exist. Heavenly Father loves us more than we can imagine. I love you all so much and hope you have a super great week! I am so excited for this week! It's going to be the best week ever!!!
Love Elder Conover
