"If Ye Love Me Keep My Commandments"

(A/N: Hello everyone, Alejandra here! I hope you had a wonderful week! There's only a couple of more weeks until Hermana Ramos-Escobar comes back home! But in the mean time, here is the update from last week! On another side note, Hermana Ramos-Escobar will not be writing on Monday because she will be going to the temple. Enjoy the update!)

"If ye love me, keep my commandments..."

This is my scripture for the week! I love this scripture because it's so simple yet so powerful! I've come to learn on my mission, with great help from President Clark, that all that we do is because we love our Savior Jesus Christ.

This week has been crazy!! We've been running around with our head chopped off! We had to re-arrange a lot of plans because meetings ended up being on different days. We have Zone Conference tomorrow and I'm so excited to hear what President Clark has prepared for us. I know that we will be able to receive a lot of revelations for our areas, for our investigators, and for ourselves. I absolutely love Zone Conferences and I'm especially excited for this one! About every other Zone Conference we have car inspection and they announce the top 3 cleanest cars. I am determined to get at least one of the top three, so Sister Priestley and I will be cleaning our car today!

 
So, Jordan was going to get baptized this next Saturday, but things changed... As of right now his baptism is set for the 21st. We didn't feel that he was quite ready for this week, but we're going to be working with him a lot this week to get him prepared for the following week! I have loved working with him because he reminds me so much of me when I was learning about the church...I didn't really have a testimony about the things that I was learning, but I knew it was something that I had to do. I knew it was right because I had felt the Spirit. Sometimes we really do just need to take that leap of faith and do things because we feel like we need to. We don't need to know all the details, but we just have to have faith.

I love you all and I hope you all have a great week!
Sorry it's short...my arm is hurting and I'm running out of time!

Love,

Hermana Ramos-Escobar
