Happy April (fools:), happy General Conference weekend, and happy Easter!!!
This week was just lovely! Sorry I don't have too much time so here are some highlights...
-Zone temple trip. There's no word I can think of to describe the temple except heavenly. It is a place of beauty and peace, I feel so blessed we have temples to go to :)
-On Sunday our District had a musical fireside. We invited a bunch of amazing and talented people to sing, and then as a district we sang "Come Unto Christ," the efy song and theme for last year. There was such a powerful spirit there, and it reminded me of my purpose to invite others to come unto Christ. But that is not just my purpose, it is all of our purposes, whether we are set apart missionaries or not. We are so blessed to have this knowledge of the gospel, and to know that Christ lives! Speaking of which, if anyone hasn't seen the new video Becasue He Lives, watch it :) HeLives.mormon.org. I know Christ is always here... when we seek Him, we find Him. We find Him when we reach out to others in selfless service. We find Him when we think of Him always, just as we promise to do every week when we take the Sacrament. We find Him when we strive to become like Him. That is the most hopeful phrase to me, He is risen! He lives today, right now, and He can always be with us. F I N D H I M.
Okay here are some answers to your questions...
1. Sister Castaneda is from El Salvador! But it's kind of confusing because she was born there and lived there till she was 10, then moved to Costa Rica, then moved to Spain, then to New York City, then Washington DC where her mom is now. But she always goes back to El Salvador because all her older siblings are still there. She's the youngest, and she just moves around with her mom. Also, in case you were wondering I love her to death!!!!! :)
2. Fernando has been out of town for the past two weeks in New Zealand... He just got back but we will have a lesson with him either tonight or tomorrow! And we haven't seen Ann again this week, but we'll keep trying! We do have one other investigator, he's actually an RM... but went super less-active and is now trying to come back. And he made a goal to come to church every sunday this year, and he's kept it! Even when he's traveling out of the country! Which for him is a huge step, so we're really excited. His name is Carah. He's going to SLC for conference too, maybe you'll see him and not even know it! :)
Well dear friends, I love you! Enjoy conference. Spiritual Thanksgiving feast on Easter day. How special :)
With much love,
Sister Sabey
