"See Jesus Moments"

Hey everyone!!! Hope you all had a great Halloween!! It was a pretty slow week for us here in El Centro. For Halloween we had to come in early at 7, so we got to clean out our area book and get organized a little bit and then read in D&C 84! It was super fun though, we just pounded down some candy and had a fun time.

I don't know why this week it has been super hard for us to find some people at home, but when we did, we had some awesome lessons! Yesterday we went to go see this investigator, William, and had the best lesson EVER with him! He's 85, his wife was a member but passed away last year and he has just been super depressed since then. We have been meeting with him every now and then because he just keeps talking about how he doesn't know how to open his heart and have faith. So yesterday we read out of Alma 32 with him and had a really great discussion with him! And at the very end we FINALLY got him to say his very first verbal prayer!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!! It was AMAZING! It is so cool to see someone humbly acknowledge their Father in Heaven no matter what age they are. Watching him pray was definitely the highlight of my week and one of the coolest experiences I've had on my mission so far. I have such a strong testimony about prayer and how vitally important it is that we communicate with our Father! "Prayer is an appointed means for obtaining the highest of all blessings!"-Bible Dictionary

We also had a really great lesson with one of our LA's. We met at her house and both of her parents were there. She has been a member for 3 years now and her parents were super against her being baptized. But when we had our lesson her mom still stayed in the room and even asked us some questions and participated in the lesson! And then randomly in the middle of the lesson she turned to her mom and said, "Mom, will you come to church with me on Sunday" and her mom said YES! TOO AWESOME! In our District's standards, that was a "See Jesus Moment" :)

Well, sorry for the short email this week. But we are having a Zone party at one of the Bishops house and are a little limited on time. Just know that I am absolutely loving being a part of this work and seeing the Gospel take root in people's lives! THE CHURCH IS SO TRUE!

I love you all and am sooo appreciative of all your prayers in my behalf!
