Week 58 (4/8/19):"This is why we argue- you like prime numbers."

This week has been awesome! And so is Hermana Sepulveda. Yesterday, someone we're teaching said that she's going to go far in the church (since she was so lovingly bold and had such a powerful witness and such a good knowledge of the gospel) and I totally agree with the principle of what he said. She has such an enthusiasm for the work and such faith. It has been such a strength to me.

Together, we've seen the vision for Dinuba- that within 18 months, there will be a ward in Reedley (like you told Elder Farnsworth) and so we are going to see huge growth. Me being me, I ran the numbers, and we need ~210 more members, which means that between us and Reedley, we need 12 new members a month. Which is really just two families. But it's cool to see how because we see the vision, that doesn't seem that daunting. We know that this is what needs to happen to realize the Lord's vision for this area, so we fully trust that it's going to happen!

On Saturday, we watched Conference with a less active sister, and she talked about how when the elders came over (we're working together), she just felt so much peace the rest of the night. And then after conference, she said that she's wants to find out for herself if this is actually true! She's totally coming back, and bringing her 3 unbaptized sons with her!

Another cool miracle, we watched Conference with a member family (mainly the hermana) yesterday morning, and that was the session Elder Christofferson spoke. It really hit her that she could hear an apostle of the Lord speak to her in her own language. And it was such a miracle that the one session of conference we were there (and they hadn't watched it on Saturday) was when Elder Christofferson spoke. Heavenly Father knew that this hermana needed that.

We met a really cool man this week. We were about to knock on his neighbor's door when he called us over and asked us about the plan of salvation. And we talked to him for about an hour, then an hour and a half (about the word of wisdom), and we're going back again tonight! He lost a bunch of his family about a year ago, and he really wants to know more!

There's been so much that's been happening, I can't remember everything. But it's been a really good week!
Love you, bye!
