Alejandro!

Hey yall!

Not too much happened this week, but here are some highlights:

 - Our friend Alejandro passed his baptismal interview and is getting baptized this week! He works out of town so he's not in Montevideo during the week, however this week we went to visit his mom and sister. His sister told us that it is amazing how the spirit is working in Alejandro. She testified of the change they have seen in him and told us they have seen him on his knees praying in their house. She said after we left their house one Sunday Alejandro left his alcohol bottle outside and has not touched it since. The spirit was so strong while she was telling us this story. He is an example to his family, I am so excited for him to take this step. He has been waiting for this day for sooooo long and is soooo excited! 

- My comp hit 2 months on the mission. All of our lessons canceled that day, but while we were walking home some of my fav members drove by and offered to drive us home. On the way they took us to get Dominos pizza and Gridos icecream. It was a miracle, we love Julee and Miguel! They remind me of my sister and brother-in-law! 

- We went to seminary this week! We are planning a volleyball night this week with the youth. I love the youth in our ward, they are our best friends!

- We saw our friend Damian, from India. He's leaving to go back to India this week. 

- I started drinking mate again, since the water is better! 

- Hermana Wilson had her first torta frita.

I read a talk my mom sent me this week called "Our Relationship with God." There is a scripture in the Book of Mormon that is quoted it says, “Seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand. For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works” (Jacob 4:10). I love this! Sometimes its easy to tell the Lord what we want or what we think is best, but this was a good reminder that He knows what's best. Praying and taking the Lord's counsel makes all the difference. 

Have a great week!
