Julio
We taught Julio last night. He wasn't able to come to church but we were able to catch him at the end of the day. He invited us in, sat us down, ran to grab the Plan of Salvation pamphlet we had given him, and then said, "I have a question." I love that. I love teaching people who really have a desire to learn and understand. We taught the lesson and I felt like I was learning just as much as he was. We talked about John 3:16 "And God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son." Julio thought for a second and said, "wow, God must love us a lot then." I know that God does love us a lot. He is just as exited to teach us and help us through life's journey as I am to teach Julio or anyone who receives me. But imagine His joy when we invite Him in and open our heart, when we kneel down to pray and say, "I have a question," and then listen and learn. I testify that God will answer those who ask him with a sincere and humble heart.
I love you all,

Keep the Commandments.
I can't believe how fast that week just flew by!
We saw Celeste and Jiovanni again. I wanted to talk to Jiovanni a little more because he listens when we come by but he's kept himself pretty quiet. The spirit was strong. Jiovanni opened up a little bit. I was hoping he would tell us about how his family is against him listening to us and coming to church, because I know that that is a problem, but instead he talked about how he never got an answer when he prayed. I know that one day he will join the church with Celeste, it just might take a little time.
We have a lot of people we are working with who have drug and alcohol addictions. It is super super hard. It ruins peoples lives, takes away their agency, traps them, and destroys families. My testimony of the Word of Wisdom is strong. Living and following the commandments of God truly brings freedom.
Have a great week!

The Sweetwater Ward
Yesterday the Sweetwater Branch officially became the Sweetwater Ward! It's been great to see how much it has grown.
On Saturday we went to a flea market that was filled with Hispanics. It was a lot of fun. I felt like I was in Mexico. There was people everywhere selling anything and everything you can imagine. We talked to a lot of people and even found a less active member who we had lost complete contact with when I was here last year.
Last night we went with a member, for dinner, to a graduation party of a friend of his. First of all, Tacos de pastor are soooo good when they are done right. There was a lot of people there sitting at the table where we were eating. They all started asking us questions about who we are, how I learned spanish, and what we are doing. One of the guys said that he had a lot of Mormon friends in Mexico when he was a kid and one of them served a mission too. He said he liked the Family Nights and we exchanged numbers so that we could do one with their family. Sharing the gospel can be very easy and natural.
Probably the coolest guy we're teaching, Julio. We left him with a restoration pamphlet and he read the whole thing and even answered the questions in the back. That's the first time I've ever seen anyone do that. He's a pretty cool, sincere, smiley guy.
love,
