General conference was SO good ehh?? But i had to watch it in spanish so i don't know if i understood all of it but thats okay haha. My favorite talk was all of them. Like i don't really know what half of them said but the spirit was there. I want you to all know that i will be able to read the talks and have the same testimony so don't worry! But i want you all to know that there are some people out there that believe this gospel is true, some people have doubts, but I KNOW that this church is true. I have such a strong testimony and there is no denying it with all the miracles i have seen, and the spirit that i have felt. I think thats one of the things i've learned this conference. Learning a language is hard, but you are not the teacher, the spirit is so its okay if you don't have the exact words that you want. The spirit testifies of the truth. I didn't save any dogs this week, so i didn't have the chance to advertise my religion, BUT i was nice and sick alllllllllllll week long:) Nice right?? Ive had a nice head cold, and bad cough. Yeah its been super hard having the desire to go out and not feel super sick, but being sick is no excuse. SO i've gone out every day except i stayed home two night with Hermana Edwards cause she was super sick. I didn't mind and i learned ALOT from her. She is an amazing missionary. Im really sick of coughing tho, like this is how the lessons go. I(cough) know(cough) this(cough) church(cough) is (cough) true(cough) ENSERIO??? its ridiculous. Its fine tho. So Tuesday we went and visited Edgar and he said he had no more faith and smoked a pack of cigarettes.... So i read him this story of a guy who was hiking and a boulder fell on his arm, he wanted to just stay there and die but had a vision of picking up his little son with his left arm, this vision gave him the desire to cut off his arm and get help. I told Edgar that when he sees a vision of what he can become he will have a desire to stop smoking. We wrote a all the things he wants in his future on a piece of paper and stuck it on his front door so when he is going out to buy cigarettes he will see it and have a desire to stop. When we taped that paper on the door, he turned to me and gave me a fist pump with the biggest smile on his face and said "Thanks Hermana Gates" ohhhhh myyyyy goshhhhh i felt the spirit so strong!!! I know the lord is here for every one of his children. Its been hard with Santoyo, she just wants to be chill all the time, and really doesn't care. Its super hard cause i have such a desire to find teach and baptize, but we are going to change her:) Im excited for this transfer!! Ohh transfers are today but we are staying! We are just switching zones. The Goudy's are super happy!! haha we love them. I was talking to my old zone leader on monday and he said hermana nelson and her companion arent doing good at all, they are being transferred now but will you all please pray for her. Poor girl. I wrote her a letter, but please keep her in your prayers. I hope you all have a great week okay??:)
