The Standard of Truth HAS Been Erected!

Hola everyone! Como estan?

Another week has flown by. I can't believe how fast time goes! Can you believe that in two days I will have been out for 8 months? I can't! It's crazy how fast time goes. So crazy.

So this week has been quite the week. It's been full of adventures, miracles, difficulties, and everything else you can think of. On Tuesday night we were driving to contact a referral. I was driving and stopped at a stop sign. Well, a car failed to yield to oncoming traffic and sped through the intersection. Another car that was going about 50 mph hit him. That car spun and his car came through the intersection right for us. Well, we had quite the miracle. So he was coming right for my door, I could see him and he was so scared. Well, right before he got to us his car practically stopped and he barely bumped us. It could have been really bad but all that happened was we got a few little bumps on the door. Our cars were like a "t." So yeah, we were super blessed because we could have been really hurt but instead we were just fine. We barely even felt it. It turned out that the man was a bit intoxicated. His car and the other car are totaled but no body was hurt.

The next day I was super sick. I don't remember the last time I was that sick. I couldn't keep anything down. After district meeting and what not we talked to Sister Walker and she told Sister Andersen that I couldn't work.

So yeah, we had lots of crazy things happen to us this week but we came out on top. Like the Standard of Truth says "The Standard of Truth Has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing..." I feel like Satan is doing all that he can to stop us but since the Standard of Truth has been erected nothing is going to stop it. When things happen I just say "nice try Satan, but you can't stop us."

You know, this week more than ever I've felt the urgency of the work. I am so happy that I get to be a part of the work. I love the work. When I think of all that the Lord has done for me I just want to talk to everyone because everyone needs the blessings from the Gospel. I can't help but be happy all of the time because of the truth that I know. We had some great miracles this week. We've been going through our area book and pretty much contacting all of the formers. Well somehow we had missed one and than all of the sudden we flipped open to one of the pages. It was for this teenager named Joel. Well, we went over and visited him and he said that he's been looking for the truth. The next day when we came back he had been reading from the Book of Mormon and loving it. He committed to be baptized! Slowly but surely the work will be on fire here. We were also able to contact lots of people so it was just an awesome week. We've been blessed with so much. I love this new area! Our house is awesome! The members are amazing! To answer your question Dad, this area is a lot better well off than my last. My last area is kind of the ghetto of El Paso but this place is super nice. They both provide different pros and cons but I love learning how to work in a new area with new challenges. Its awesome.

Well, I probably should head but I hope that you all have a great week. Be happy! Do good! Remember our Savior and what He has done for you. When we remember our Savior we have every reason to be happy! Well, I love you all so much! Have a great week!
Love,
