this week of conference

hi frends and family!
how did everyone like conference write me back and tell me about it. :)
Well this week was a lot more successful, all of our progressing investigators attended or watched some sessions of General Conference! it was so great.  I loved conference!
We have two new progressing investiagators they are son and father, the son is 29 nine  hsi name is Genaro, he is a single parent of four kids, his wife left them. His dad helps him out a lot. They were never religious, but they  are very open to the gospel. Wwent over to share a spiritual thought with them and to follow up we asked him how their prayers and reading has been he said he hasn't had time because he is too busy with the kids. Therefore, we promised him that if he sets time aside to study and pray he will find energy he didnt even know he had and gain more wisdom to teach his children so they can have guidence in thier lives, as they put their trust in Heavenly Father. It is truly amazing how in reality the scriptures, when understood and applied, we can genertate that power to face any trial, overcome any sorrrow, attain a hope and a joy through any obstalce and know how to rear the family to walk uprighlty before God. As Paul said,  all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for instruction in righteousness that we may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
 We invited the Dad to be baptised at the second lesson, then later we started teaching the whole family, so we asked him if he has prayed about that invitaion, for he does not feel ready but we promised he will be by that time if he is diligent in keeping the commandments, however he hasn't prayed about it. mi companera invited him ,Ricardo,  to pray and Genaro to do CPR for the soul, church, pray , read, indeed it will revive our sould if we do these things :)
I hope that those talks helped them.
Our investigator Estefania, came to two sessions and she looked lovely in her sunday dress :) since we haven't had luck teaching her family, since they are never home , we are going to see if we should baptize her without her family, even though it will be harder for someone so young(12), but in a way she reminds me of me, when i was investigating the chruch, diligent and always trying to be better, and although her family doesn't come with her she still does what she needs to do to strengthen her realationship with her Savior: like pray , read The Book of Mormon everyday, strenghtens her home and loves her family. I love her so much.
today we went to camelback with my zone, it was a blast
