Hermana Warburton: Happy Halloween Week

¡Buenos dias familia y amigos! ¿Como estan? Epero que todos esten bien! Feliz Halloween este semana pasada!

Mi semana de Halloween was a little different than usual... because in Ecuador Halloween really isnt a big holiday, and most people dont celebrate it, or dont celebrate it in the way that Americans do!! :) But on Halloween me and my comp stopped by a couple of members houses and I taught a hermana how to say trick or treat and then gave her a candy! And then later at another members house -Maria Jose- i got 2 ice cream treats! I do love my ice cream! So my Halloween was different but still fun!

In Miercoles we were able to teach 2 of our investigators, Diego and Denise Denise. We taught the Restoration to Diego, and i was able to say the first vision in spanish! usually i say this part in lessons, because i have the first vision memorized. and it is my favorite part of the lesson! the Spirit is so strong when we share about the first vision and Jose Smith. I know that Jose Smith was a prophet, and a very important part of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth again!

We taught Denise Delgado about the Plan of Salvation. I have been studying this week about the Plan of Salvation and it is such a great plan! Wow! I know that Heavenly Father loves each of us individually so much! He wants to bless us, and we will be blessed when we are obedient. Thanks to the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can overcome sin and we can live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again. This plan is a plan of hope and happiness!! :) I know that Heavenly Father is in this work. I have received so much help as i have tried to share this Gospel in the new Espanol language.

My poor companera was sick again this week, so Viernes we were in the casa all day, and many other days we retired early or took breaks. I am hopeful that this week she will start to feel better.

I want to share a great scripture i found this past week in my studies! (cause we study for like 4-5 hours a day.. haha). Its in John 10:1-17. In this part it talks about Jesus as the Good Shepard. He knows and calls us by our own name. Through Him, and through His Atonement, we can find rest. I know it is true. I find such comfort that no matter how we feel or what we are going through, we can always find peace and rest in Jesus Christ.

gracias por todo!! have a great week!! :)

Les amo mucho!!
