¡¡Hola amigos!!
This week was pretty hectic. To be honest, mom, you are probably going to freak out, but don't worry. Ready......wait for it.....we got a notice on our door Tuesday morning that our neighbor had bedbugs!! We spent about 5 hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday packing and unpacking all our things in plastic bags and cleaning the apartment to almost perfection. We had to move all the furniture to the center of the apartment and wash all the sheets. It was unfortunate because we had just unpacked and gotten our apartment back to normal. But we did get to clean the apartment and hopefully all the bugs are gone. We did not find any in our apartment, so I think we are safe. It was just a precaution. On Thursday, they sprayed the whole apartment and we could not go to the apartment until 10. That was good because we had a very productive day. It was a little taxing on our patience, though to not be out working to our full potential, but we definitely saw some blessings from this.
We were able to meet with Anslemo this week. Elder Crocco and I shared the rest of the plan of salvation with him and also talked about the resurrection in detail. Something cool happened as well. He was asking us about the Spirit world and we both turned to the same verse of scripure: 1 Peter 3:19. We both more fully realized that the Spirit guides us. Anslemo keeps meeting with us so hopefully we can get him to come to church. We also met with Ruben and Cindy. He still cannot come to church because of his lungs, but we are hoping to see if he can come to just get the sacrament. We are also making progress with them because they said that they would "unite" with the church if they could go to church. So we are working with the bishopric to see what we can do. I truly do love them and want the best for them. We were excited because the first session of conference on Sunday really spoke to Ruben. Thanks Elder Nelson!! We also got in contact with Eric Aguilan and we are meeting with their family this week. We also are pretty much re-organized and now that the bedbugs are gone, we can hit the ground running.
General Conference was SUPER BUENO!!! I loved all the talks because they seemed to all be focused on the family and the simple doctrines of the gospel. I also loved the talk about how you can be converted to the church but not converted to the gospel. I agree. the gospel of Jesus Christ is the way we are saved, not the "church". The Church is an important factor of the gospel that allows us to grow in the gospel.
Favorite Quotes from Conference:
"Why should you be jealous if i choose to be kind?" - Elder Holland
"The greatest joy that God has about being God is being merciful, especially to those that do not expect it." -Elder Holland
"Stop It" - President Uchdorf
Haz el bien. ¡¡Milagros todavía estan pasando!! ¡¡Jésucristo vive!!
Mucho Amor,
