Letter #19 A Great Week

Hola familia

Como estan? How is everybody doing this week. It sounds like life is going well in Myrtle Beach. Mom, my transfers are November 1st, so if you want to send me something you probably can, but I don't think i need anything really. I'm doing good with everythings that I have and dont really find a need or a want for much. But packages are always fun to get!

So my spanish is going well. I am learning more and more everyday. I can say most of what I want to say and I am understanding more and more. I love speaking the spanish language!!

So this week was GREAT!!!! This week, we taught 5 new investigators. 2 for the English ward and 3 for the spanish ward. I am really excited about teaching a guy named Rod Fenn and a hermana named Juana Yeats. Rod Fenn has a lot of mormon friends and is really lookoing for a church. He got tired of his. He said it was getting to charsmatic. So it is cool to see him really searching and looking for the truth. And Juana Yeates, WOW!!!!!!! She is so cool. She is married to an inactive member, Fred Yeates, who is the brother to a member of our stake presidency. In the past 3 weeks she has been to General Conference in SLC, had a spiritual touching experience during the sacrament, and got to shake Elder Scott's hand and talk with him. She is so eager to learn and so interested. She asked President Yeates, "When can I get baptized?" Man, it is amaziing how the Lord is preparing people and how when they find the Gospel how it affects them so much. I am so excited to teach her more and help prepare her for baptism.

So stake conference with Elder Scott was AWESOME!!! Because Elder Scoggin had to translate, we got to go to the Adult Session, the missionary meeting, the general session, and then right after the general session, Elder Scott had a little meeting with just the Spanish members. What an opportunity!!!!! He got to meet our on dates, The Garcia Family and shake their hands. THey were so excited. It was so special! During the missionary meeting, Elder Scott asked Elder Scoggin and I to share what we thought about President Yeates and how he has been helpng us teach Juana. It was cool to be called out of the audience by an Apostle and I got a chance to bear my testimony about how as members we need to love, love, love, build, build, build when their is someone investigating the church or with our recent converts and just with all the members in the church. It was a special opportunity. Then after the Spanish branch meeting with him, Elder Scoggin and I and two Elders from Ephrata had the chance to talk with him for just a sec. It was very special!

So those are just a few of the highlights from this week. This week was filled with miracles!! I have really learned a lot in this past week and I was so greatful I had the chance to be here to see everything that has happened in this week. I know that the Lord needed me here and may still need me here, who knows. But I am still praying for my visa and that I will get the opportunity to go down to Mexico City and serve the people down there. Mexicans are so humble and greatful. I was really touched by them this week as we taught some really awesome members and investigators. I know this church is true and that missionary work is real. Time is fllying by!!!

I love you guys! THanks for all the prayers and thoughts and letters! Jason, have fun being a ward missionary!! Love yall!!

Con Amor,

Elder Glover
