A Week With New Beginnings and Beautiful Things.

Hola Familia,
I hope your week went well I loved your photos and I hope you enjoyed San Diego :) Keep taking (and sending me) photos!!!!! I love to see what you are doing :)

This week we had the opportunity to visit A M and do service activities. She broke her foot and has nine pins and a plate which means that the house doesn't have anyone to clean it- not true!!!! We can clean it!! :) We cleaned her house and her bandages so that she could feel better about staying in bed all day. With this time that she has in bed every day she has the opportunity to read the Book of Mormon. She enjoys reading and has LOTS of questions and I enjoy explaining with the little Spanish I know what the scriptures mean :)

We also met a woman with two kids in the street. Her kids don't speak Spanish. They speak Misteco (or something like that...). We talked to the mom and invited her to church. We gave her a pamphlet of the Restoration and we noticed that the little boy wanted to see the photos so my companion and I gave him a photo of Jesus and children. Although we can't speak his language, God can because God speaks the language of the heart. The whole time we talked with this lady I could tell that God was speaking to her and that she could feel his love. We are doing all that we can so that E and her two kids can come to church and receive a testimony of the Gospel!

This week in my studies, I learned a lot about the Holy Ghost and how we can receive personal revelation through him. As confirmed members of the church, we have the blessing of the constant guide of the Holy Ghost. Every day he can testify to our hearts the things we are doing are things that will bring us closer to Christ and warning us of things that will make us stray further from Christ. Not only does he give us counsel for what we should do with our lives on a daily bases but also how we can learn more about Christ, how we can become more like Him, and how we can experience joy like Him.

For every person, we have different ways to feel the spirit. I want to challenge all of you to look for your ways you can feel the spirit. God will give you his words of comfort and guidance through the feelings and promptings of the spirit.

If you aren't a member of the church, I would invite you to pray for guidance from God.You too have the ability to feel the spirit and know what God is saying to you. God is calling you. Talk to Him. You will feel his love and guidance more abundantly in your life.

Hope this week is full of new beginnings and beautiful things!
Les amo,
Hermana Beardall
