Hello friends and family!
How are you all?? I love you!! This week has
been good! To start it off on Tuesday we taught our recent convert Angel! We
showed him the Easter video and were able, with the help of the churches new
web site that goes along with the video, talk with him in depth about Christ and
all that happened the week leading up to Easter Day! It was supercool to watch
all the things click in his head as he recognized different things and put
things together! The spirit was super strong during the lesson and I absolutely
LOVED teaching about Christ and his life!

We tried to contact a potential investigator
named aurora who we have talked to before. She lives with a roommate who made
it very apparent we weren't her favorite. So when we went to her house she wasn't
home but her roommate was. She wasn't
wearing her glasses so she couldn't see who we were so she actually talked to
us haha. Anyway we asked her to tell her we came by and she said ok and who are
you guys again and we said the missionaries. She blinked and then went ohhhh
the Mormons and she clasped her hands and did a very long bow towards us in her
doorway and then went yea whatever adios and closed the door. It probably
wasn't something to be funny but I found it hilarious, she bowed to us.
We also taught Lilia, a less active, again this
week!! She has been coming to church for a while now so she will soon be
considered active again which is so awesome! I love her so much she always
offers us fruit when we come over and calls us her Bonita Chicitas.
The work here is moving along. Recently it has
felt that everyone is canceling on us which gets frustrating and sad some
times. BUT the work goes on and we have time to just contact everyone we can
and I love contacting! It's so awesome and fun to just meet people and talk to
them even if they want nothing to do with us. So hopefully in the coming week
we pick up new investigators so we can start teaching again in this last week
of my first transfer in the field!
Friday night we meet with a less active that we
have been trying to see since I got to Santa Rosa named Irma! She let us come
in and share the Easter video with her and her parents. And guess what!! I
understood pretty much the whole lesson AND I was having a conversation with them!
They told me my Spanish was really good and I think I shed a tear. They may
have said it just to be nice but I'm taking the compliment anyway. I can't wait
to get to know more Spanish so I can just talk to people more and more!
On Saturday we were trying to find potentials and
found a women named Debra! She was standing out side talking to her neighbor
and recognized us as missionaries. It was quiet shocked actually when she asked
us if we were with the Latter Day Saints. I guess her grandma has elders come
over every week and teach her! Anyway we found her randomly and she was definitely
prepared and set by the Lord! We were able to show her the Easter video and
talk about resurrection! The spirit was super strong and I think she felt it to
but didn't recognize what it was! She asked to come back again as soon as we could!
So hopefully we can go back and start talking about jesu cristo y su mensaje!

Sunday was an adventure when Hermana Burton and
I locked ALL of our things in one of the church buildings... We walked around
forever trying to find a phone to call the elders or other hermanas with. We ended
up going to another church building and using that phone to call people. The elders so kindly brought us our things.
It was a very fun 4 hours and having no idea what to do without our things. But
it was fun to walk around for a bit! The weather here is pretty nice and the
wind was blowing so counting my blessings it wasn't raining!
This Saturday was also the general women's
broadcast! And man was it just amazing!! I loved it so so much! Each of the
speakers talked about serving and being gods hands and standing up and speaking
out! One of my favorite scriptures was mentioned! The one about how one who
loses their life for Christ’s sake actually finds it! They talked about how
when you are serving you are NEVER alone and the Lord is on your right and left
hand and has angels round about you. Ahh our General Authorities and our Prophet
are truly inspired and have such an amazing spirit and are hastening this work
forward more and more! I'm so so excited for general conference this upcoming
weekend and the opportunity we get to hear from all the different special
witnesses of Christ! Think of the questions you would like answered and pray
that they will this conference! I testify that this church is true with all my
heart and that Thomas s. Monson is a prophet called of God. I love this church
and gospel SO much and hope all of you are doing fantastic!! I love all your
emails so much! Tenga una buena semana!!
Con amor,
Hermana Foster
