Hola familia!!!

This week was FANTASTICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had zone conference on Thursday, which was WONDERFUL!! We talked about the temple, its importance, and the importance of having members at our lessons. I never realized before the gran importancia of the members. The work is a LOT harder if it is just missionaries and not nearly as successful. I went into the conference praying to know how we could be more successful as missionaries, and the answer I got was members. Members have to be incorporated into the work. Then Sunday, yesterday, we got to see the broadcast. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! Because of technical difficulties I missed the first 20 or 30 minutes, but the rest was INSPIRATIONAL!!! During it, I kept thinking about how much I have learned and the people that could be enjoying the Gospel right now if I had just opened my mouth. It does not make sense to have fear about sharing the gospel when we really realize the significance. When we share, we are sharing SALVATION not just a chance to come to church or hear the missionaries. This work truly is the most important work. Sorry I dont have more time this week (I only have about 30 minutes because our cyber was closed). 

To all the family, what are yall doing to share the Gospel? Probably most important to sharing the Gospel with others is being their friend. It is true what Ammon said that we must win their hearts so then we can lead them to believe. Sharing the Gospel is an act of love, and when you invite someone to come to church, come to dinner, come to family home evening, it truly is an act of love.

Last thing to request, please send the recipe for banana bread if you have time. We made banana cake and it was DELICIOUS!!! Also, other simple recipes only if you have time. I LOVE YOU ALL and pray for you all every day!!! Keep your eyes towards the Son and everything will be ok.

Con amor,
