Hola!

Anyways, I figure I should write about the week. It's only been a few days since I last wrote, so there won't be too much. Yesterday we had a ridiculous lesson. We were teaching these people and asked if they wanted us to focus more on Prophets or Christ's Earthly Ministry. They said Prophets. So after we finished the lesson they say "Why do y'all talk about prophets so much? Y'all talk about prophets but never talk about the Virgin of Guadalupe/Mary." Then they said "I think the Virgin is more important than prophets." And so I talked about how in the ten commandments it says to only worship the one true God, and the husband said "well my wife worships the Virgin" and she interrupted and said "I believe in the Virgin..." And then the Husband said "for us the most important people are God, the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Virgin." and so I corrected them and said that the trinity is God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, and that they should be the 3 most important people. They kept talking about how we don't believe in the Virgin Mary and so I read from 1 Nephi 11. I was angry by then, so I said "fine. read this." Then they started talking about how in the story the Virgin says that whatever we pray to her in the name of her son we'll get. And I asked where it was in the Bible and they said "no it's in the book of the Virgin" and I said no I want to see that in the Bible. Man that was an annoying lesson. But it's all good. I don't think much else has gone on. We're going to the temple tonight, so that should be pretty fun. It's with a family we're teaching. The wife is trying to stop smoking. I think she has around 2 weeks now. We've been teaching them The Plan of Salvation. So after the lesson we asked if she had any questions. And she said that she had a dream and she saw her grand child and a bunch of other children in a white area. And so I told her that that was a way that her prayers were being answered. That what she saw was the opportunity she has to live with her family forever. All the children she saw were her posterity, and that this is what Heavenly Father wants for her and her family. Well that's about the highlights from the week. I'm starting to get sick, but I bought some NyQuil/DayQuil, and some sore throat numbing spray, and some Orange juice. So I should be getting better pretty soon. I already feel like I'm getting better!

OH I forgot I'm having a baptism this weekend! I'll write y'all about how it went and the story behind him next week because there are people waiting for computers!

Alright So the first is a picture of the Virgin Mary some investigator has in their house. I thought it was funny because there's one dead flower, a it's the flower she's looking at.  The next two are of the Temple. The last is of a billboard. Don't know why but they're everywhere. Talk about Houston. ENJOY!
