Can You Feel So Now?

High 5!

1. Exchanges! This week I got to go on exchanges with Hermana Carey! I went to her area this time so NO English but it was really fun!

2. John is our GOLDEN investigator! He is doing so good! He is on date for August 11th because he is moving back to Las Vegas on the 12th and really wants this ward to baptize him, haha. We are really excited for him!

3. Karen! We have been working with Karen for a while now and haven't been able to get through to her...until this week! We watched The Restoration film and everything clicked! My testimony of Joseph Smith was deepened. The spirit was really strong and we are hoping to get her on date this week.

4. Diana is on date for August 8th and she brought her sister to our lesson this week who said she wants to be baptized too!

5. We had interviews with President Miller yesterday :)

Down Low, 2 Slow.

1. We still haven't seen Jaime at all :(

2. We have NO miles left for this month so we are walking in this El Paso HEAT!

This week I learned that after gaining a testimony, we need to maintain it. I think a lot of us have had really spiritual experiences that give us a boost and a desire to be better, but over time we forget that drive and sink back into our normal routine where we are comfortable. Alma 5:26 says, "[...} If ye have experienced a change of heart, and have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?" It is my prayer and testimony that each of us will find that desire within us to spiritually stretch so we can grow to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.

I love you all and miss you dearly. Have a great week :)

God Speed!
