Yup its true in 5 days from now i'll have been out for a 1/4 of my entire mission. Yeah i know i can hardley believe it my self. Things here in Utuado are pressing forward like always and we're working hard. It seems like every one here in Utuado knows Elder Hernandez and I because we cant go anywhere with out running into some we've meet or talked witht before. thats always a good sign to have, and the next step is baptizing all of them. But doing this takes a little extra time. speaking of time, it just keep's on flying by. Next week is transfers which will be my 3 complete transfer here on the island of Puerto Rico... Crazy right!
We're still working with our 2 investigators Lidia and Xiomara Rosa that have baptisimal dates for this up coming 7th of february. I'm excited for that day but still there is a lot of work to be down in between then and now. They attended the Area Conference with us in Arecibo which was great. Elder Bednar and Elder Eyring both spoke for it which was awesome! I love listening to the Apostles of the Lord speak because the spirit about them is so strong! The conference was for the whole entire Caribbean area and was broad casted from Jamica to every island in the the Caribbean in 6 different languages. Elder Bednar touched a topic that was perfect for Xiomara and Lidia about a testimony and how to develope it. He reminded us that a testimony doesnt just all come at once but comes "line upon line, precept upon precept" just like it says in the scriptures. But he also made it clear that we can only develope this testimony if we're doing all those things that we know we should be doing; such as reading the scriptures, saying sincere prayers to our Father in Heaven and acting upon those things that we know to be true. President Eyring spoke on being Faithful, Diligent in keeping the commandments, and prayerful always. As we strive to do all of these things we're blessed with the companioship of the comforter the the Holy Ghost. This gift has the power to lead us where we need to go and to help us stand firm even during difficult times and during temptations. The whole conference was a spiritual experience and i pray that Lidia and Xiomara were able to recieve a testimony that we have living prophets and apostles today. We have a cita with them tonight so we'll see how they felt about the whole thing.
Anyway, thank you for all of your love and support and know your all in my prayers.
With much Love,
Elder Lopez
