Crazy Week!‏

(A/N: Hello everyone! Alejandra here with another update from Hermana Ramos-Escobar! Hope everyone is having a good week so far! Be safe out there in this crazy world!)

Well this week was quite an adventure!!

So, Tuesday we went to the temple! That was great!

Wednesday, we had Trainer Trainee! That's when all the trainers and the new missionaries get together again and receive training from other missionaries and such things. Tuesday evening, we got a call from the assistants and they asked us to give a training for Trainer Trainee. Of course if the Lord asks us to do something we do it! Even if it's so last minute! Sister Simonsen and I prepared our training on our "purpose as missionaries" and it went really well!

Trainer Trainee was amazing! I don't know what was different about this meeting but it really spoke to me and I just learned so much! President Clark has been emphasizing using the pamphlets to teach lessons and we have been receiving training on how to use them for the past couple of months. So President Clark decided to ask one of the new missionaries to teach him the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ using the pamphlet, and he asked Sister Simonsen to do it! I was so excited! I knew she could do it! The whole time she was teaching him I couldn't stop smiling!! She did soo good! She did everything that President was expecting! Even President Clark was impressed! I was so proud of her! So ya, Wednesday was really good!

We had stake conference this weekend and it was really good! Elder Acosta was presiding. On Saturday we went to the adult session and I'm telling you, President Clark is really pushing this teaching with the pamphlets thing. He was speaking to the congregation, informing them on what we are doing as missionaries, and he said, "We're going to have a demonstration, I'm going to ask Sister Ramos and Sister Simonsen to come up and teach Brother Mearns!" Oh my goodness!! I about died!! I was so nervous! The whole time we were walking up I was shaking! So we got up there and taught the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone says we did good but I don't feel like I taught to my best capability. I definitely learned a lot from that lesson! But the best part of all of this was that President Clark asked him if the Lord had revealed to him a name of a friend whom needs to hear this message. And he had. He will ask his friend if he will listen to the missionaries and we'll see where it goes from there.

On Sunday after Stake Conference, we had a special meeting as the Echo ward with Elder Acosta and it was AMAZING! He is such an inspired man! There is no doubt that he has been called from God. The spirit that is felt when he is present is incredible! I know that the Lord truly chooses his apostles and all those who are general authorities.

I know this church is a church of order and I know that we have the proper priesthood on this Earth today. I love the Gospel with all my heart and I'm thankful that Heavenly Father has blessed us with the Gospel at this time! I love this gospel with all my heart!

I love you all!
