March 22 Letter- The Last ONE!!!

Dear Friends and Family,

Heeeeey! This week was crazy! We didn't really find...we taught one woman, Valeria, who really really needs this gospel in her life, but I'm not sure she's going to progress. We have another appointment tomorrow with her and we're going to teach the Plan of Salvation. I really think it will get her attention.
We found an inactive and her husband who's not a member this last week. They said that they have been needing a lot of help lately because they recognize that they need to be closer to our Heavenly Father. They were more than willing to attend us. I have high hopes for this couple! They are way nice and the woman, Monica, really really needs this back in her life. They both do.
Lucas got the priesthood yesterday! We were so excited! His mom came with him and was very content. We're going to see what we can do with her. She's a lot more open with us now than she was before and smiles a lot more when we're around. Lucas seemed like he was walking on cloud nine and had the smile on his face that he had right after being baptized. It was good to finally see him again. He was out of town taking care of his daughter's mom because she was super sick and started work this last week so he's been way busy.
Juana is doing awesome. Every time we go see her, though, she reminds me how much she's going to miss me when I leave. Oy por favor! She gave me one of those little license plates (the plastic ones that they sell, you know?) with her name on it to not forget her because I gave her one of my placks. Haha she makes me laugh. Anyway, she's been going to the geneology class on Sunday and absolutely LOVES it. She's very excited to do the work for her family members. SHE'S ON FIRE! I love that woman!
Anyway, sometimes I feel like our weeks are really busy because we're constantly running back and forth to appointmens but when I write to you, I can't think of anything to say! We did talk to a lot of people again this week. We almost reached 200 contacts. We got up to 197. This next week we're going to make that 200 if it's the last thing I do (no pun intended). C:
I learned something really interesting this week about faith. I was so selfish before to think that God only really answered the prayers of the members of the church. But everywhere we read in the scriptures, it says that God works according to the faith of His children. There are TONS of people who have so much faith when they pray that God can't deny them what they ask and I have contacted and met people every day who have amazing experiences with prayer. In and out of the church. I hope that we can learn to pray with all the faith that we know God is there and that He grants us what we ask according to our faith.
I hope you all have an amazing week everyone! I'm excited to hear all of your stories! Hasta que nos volvamos a ver, mantenganse firmes e inmutables en la fe de Cristo. Les amo con todo mi corazón.
