I Saw the Prez!

So this week Mary and Joel and Armando are taking the trip down into the waters of baptism it is so great! Earlier this week Mary texted us at like 2am expressing her excitement tot be baptized but her nerves for her interview, they are so prepared it is amazing! They came to Stake conference with us and they loved it! Their last name is Torres so we introduced them to prez and his wife he was great with them! He addressed them as primos it was awesome! Then they watched a baptism on Sunday to help prepare and Mary was crying she was so touched by the Spirit. Please pray that their parents will have their hearts softened by the Spirit, their mom loves it but lacks the faith to act and her husband is a little bit of a stumbling block for his family right now:) 

One experience I want to share from conference. We are one of 3 or 5 bilingual stakes in the whole world and in the Saturday session we talked about Zion. A people and a place. the people are of one heart and one mind. The place is a place of refuge among much else and to demonstrate it they had two children come up. Colby and Kayli, both white kids. The kids then bore their testimonies in Spanish, and it was the most beautiful Spanish I've ever heard and was the Spirit strong! They didn't know Spanish, they had never spoken it but they learned their testimonies for this. The faith of a child is great! no wonder God asks us to become as little children! 

Through this I feel like I came one step closer to learning the love that God has for his children that no matter the color the race, the language, nothing matters to God - He knows us individually and He loves all his children! There is so much more I'd love to share and say but I've got to go, I love you all and hope you have a great week!
