Year 1 - Letter 33 - Novato, CA

Painting Novato White

Hola Familia!

Sorry this is goig to be short but I am going to send pictures so yay! This week has been crazy! We had a wonderful Zone Conference where we learned more about our purpose and how not only is our purpose to invite others to come unto Christ it is to help others access the atonement. When I think of this it is even more powerful because I want to help others understand the atonement because the atonement is what has helped me through the hardest times of my life! We also learned that if we are not inviting others to be baptized then we are not fulfilling our purpose and this was such a slap in the face! I want to fulfuill my purpose and so I must make sure that I am inviting everyone to be baptized! So I am going to stop fearing inviting others to be baptized! President Alba shared with us about the first vision and how when Joseph Smith was praying Satan was working on him because he did not want him to talk to Heavenly Father and that it is the same way with us and that if we don't open our mouths we are giving into Satan and then we must plead with Heavenly Father for his help. So that is exaclty what I am going to do!

Also this week we were prepared for Faine to be baptized on Sunday but she is wondering if she should wait to be baptized unitl after her daughters comunion so we are just going to try and help her realize that she just needs to be baptized! So please pray that we will know how to help her and that her heart will be softened. But last night we invited Lino to be baptized again and he said yes and he understands now what he needs to do.

WE are just teaching like CRAZY and trying to find new investigators and now we are going to invite everyone and paint this city white.

Also a funny thing that Hermana Zurita said this week when we were talking about how I have hard time speaking English sometimes she said "it's like stretch marks and wrinkles it means your growing". I thought that was really cute and true! I am growing so much and it is great!

Sorry this is hsort but not too much has happened except for that we are just trying are hardest to be obedient and bring our brothers and sisters to Christ!

Thank you for all of your prayers!

Keep on keeping on!

Love you more than the beautiful weather here!
