Zone training and interviews!

Hey you all!

Well this past week was a great one. We had zone training and interviews and training with President Lewis and Sister Lewis. They are amazing. It will be sad to see them go in July! 

 We saw the great blessing of being able to add quite a few new people this week. The Lord has been blessing us as we try to talk to everyone and run from house to house to find those who are ready to receive the gospel! And there still is a lot of room for improvement. We have a challenge to contact at least 20 people per day and talk about the gospel with them. That is a pretty big task, but we know we will see awesome blessings come from that. Elder Ballard has promised us we will find those who are ready!

 It is fantastic to see the faith of the youth, and their intelligence. We are talking to two separate young women, Edith and Cassandra. They are both very smart but super humble. They are soaking up the gospel like a sponge, and have such real intent and faith. We are excited to continue working with them. 

 This week I had the opportunity to try tacos de tripas! Which is pig intestines! They weren't bad at all. Just really chewy and a little rubbery. One of our investigators fed us amazing tacos last night of potatoes and pork. They were like heaven. Then we were able to teach a really powerful lesson with her. The spirit was super strong and we will be working hard with her to have her come to church so she can feel the spirit testify to her. She was on course to get baptized  a while ago, but then randomly left for LA for a couple weeks, and now doesn't feel like she is ready. But she is so strong and she just needs to get in the groove again.

 Thank you all for your love and support! Stay warm and safe this week. The Lord is hastening the work. God's prophet has said "This is the time!" I hope we can all work harder this week to help others closer to Christ. Love and miss you all,

 Elder Stone
