i am a texas citizen

Hola! :D

Hermana McDonald and I are so excited for the baptism of Guadalupe and Johan in two weeks. we've had a bunch of support and Johan has really shown in interest by doing his part in preparing. He's only 11 but he already told us that he wants to be the first missionary in his family! Plus he watched the restauracion video on his own and said he cried. haha he's so cute and i love their family! His older sister, Gisi, 16, is coming to church but has chosen not to get baptized with her family. She said she just wants to take it slow and find out for herself. So this thursday we're going to the dallas temple with them as a family and hopefully Gisi will be able to feel of the Spirit there. I'm so excited to come back for their sealing there in a year.

I know that the Lord guides us to where we need to be and we never meet people by coincidence. Hermana McDonald and I were knocking doors the other day and found this gold mine family, the Villalobos. It was really surprising because some member kids we knew opened the door immediately when we knocked and we found out that a member in the ward was really good friends with the Villalobos and they were watching the member kids. There were about 10 people there and it was really cute because the member kids helped us teach the first lesson. It was a neat experience and after they gave us homemade beanies to keep us warm. 

Sometimes I think as members we take advantage of the many blessings we have. We have the right to have the Holy Ghost with us at all times, to direct us, lead us, comfort us. It's like a fish in the water; the fish doesn't realize he's swimming in water until he leaves the water. We likewise have the Holy Ghost as our constant companion and don't realize how much He influences us and helps us until we stray off the path and disobey. 

I love the words of the prophets and am looking forward to general conference in a few weeks. I know that we can receive personal revelation from conference and i invite you to write down a few questions you could bring to conference. i know that you will receive answers, personally and directly for you. 

I love this gospel and am so grateful to be a member of the true church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints. With it brings a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of blessings.

I love you all!
