Hey guys,
 
I forgot to explain about the pictures I sent you guys last week! They were from a P-day activity that we did with most of the missionaries from the zone. We went to a place at the edge of Lake Managua, called El Puerto Salvador Allende. 

 We are really happy because Alejandro and Natividad and their family are progressing really quickly and are excited for their baptism scheduled for the 24th. They all have felt like the things we are
teaching are true, but Natividad had a particularly special experience. She said that one night after one of our visits she was laying in bed thinking about what she had read in the Book of Mormon and the things we had taught her. Until that point she had never specifically asked in her prayers if the Church was true. She began to pray silently in her head to ask but didn't feel anything. She prayed for the second time and still didn't feel anything. She said that she asked herself, "I wonder what the missionaries meant when they said I need to pray with REAL
Park Las Palmas
INTENT?" and then she said she felt a prompting to get out of bed and pray on her knees. She said that as soon as her knees touched the floor, she felt an overwhelming peaceful feeling that gave her goosebumps all over. She recognized that as her answer. She said she could never explain the peace she had felt during her prayer because it was something she had never felt before. We were so happy as she told us that she knew without a doubt that the Church was true!!

The rest of the week was pretty normal. The Lord is blessing us with lots of people to teach! I love my area because it requires a lot of patience, faith, and hard work. 
 
I can't believe that the Brigham City 14th Ward will soon have 13 missionaries! That's the blessing of having such faithful teachers and leaders in the ward. 
 
Love you all!
