Hola familia!

 

All I have to say is that I love Hispanics so much. We have some of the cutest experiences ever with members of our ward. Recently we were eating breakfast with one of the members and then we helped her move some stuff. She had been talking with us in Spanish the whole entire time and then as we're walking out the door she yells to us in her super thick Hispanic accent," "I love you too much!" And there is this member in our ward that we eat lunch with every single week. She is already one of my most favorite people ever, and then we were at her house the other day and we were talking about this experience we had and she just gets up and says that she has the perfect song for them. She comes back with the lyrics to a Child's Prayer and she sings the whole thing in English with her think adorable Hispanic accent. We wanted to cry it was so cute. Moral of the story: Hispanics are so adorable. I love these people.

 

Vanessa is still on board to get baptized this Saturday! Her interview was yesterday and it went great. She is so ready and so excited. She will also be baptized with an investigator of some of the Elders in our ward so it will be a special day for everyone. We are really so excited. I love that little chica so much. I hope you all get to meet her someday.

 

Noelia and Amilcar are still doing great! They just are really getting a light in their faces. It is so cool to see. Noelia came to church yesterday by herself because her little brother couldn't. We've been wondering who Noelia would make good friends with in Young Women's, but we weren't quite sure yet. There is this other girl who just recently started investigating the church after some members brought her. They are the same age and then yesterday at church they just became such good friends! When the other girl was leaving she just said, "See you on Wednesday?" And Noelia just said, "Yeah. See you Wednesday!" So they will both be going to girls’ camp and they will be able to help each other out on their journey into the church.

 

There was this one day where we called Noelia and Amilcar, and Amilcar answered. After a couple seconds of talking he just said, "Guys I have to tell you something!" He then goes on to tell us how at school that day he had to take a big test, but he was feeling so tired and he didn't know why. So he said that he prayed to help him feel better. And then within 5 minutes of the test he felt awake. And then after he told us the story he just says, "Maybe God really is there!" That was such a tender mercy! We are just so happy that he was able to recognize the answer to his prayer. Because of that simple little thing, he is starting to know God more. Even the littlest of prayers get answered.

 

Have I told you lately that the gospel is true? Because it is. We were knocking yesterday and I had said a little schpeel about forever families or something like that and the guy at the door said, "You really believe that?" And I really did. After that I was just kind of thinking about it and I knew that I really did believe it. Actually, I knew it was true. This gospel brings so much happiness that there is just no way that it’s not true. I hope you all have a fabulous week! Go share the gospel!!  I love you!!

 

And now I close mine epistle. I am Hermana Horton.
