Hey everybody! How are we all doing? Wasn´t General Conference the best?! I loved it so much! I got to listen to it in english too which made it even better. I can´t decide which one was my favorite talk though. I love how Elder Holland speaks with so much boldness. He makes it clear that there is something to be learned and he doesn´t sugar coat it at all. There was a talk I liked a lot by Wilford W. Anderson. I think that was his name anyway. He spoke on having faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement. I loved how he said that there is always hope because Jesus Christ has overcome all. I also loved the story President Monson told about the sick little boy Lewis and the faith that he showed. What a powerful answer to his father. NEVER! Overall I just loved the whole conference. I wasn´t able to watch the Sunday afternoon session because it started at 10 here but I´m excited to read it in the Liahona in a couple of months. I learned a lot of lessons and received a lot of answers to prayers that I needed. I can´t wait for the next one haha! Anyway, we had a pretty good week in Crevillente. We found a new investigator named Lorena. We found her while visiting a less active woman in the branch. She is a spanish single mom that seems to have lost a lot of hope. She was born into the Catholic church but doesn´t agree with it one bit. She actually called them robbers haha. I hope she accepts our message and we can get her to progress. We also received a referral from a different less active woman in the ward. She told us about a man that I think she is dating that is interested in receiving the lessons. We have an appointment set up with them both today and I´m excited to see what happens! Its always good to receive referrals from less active members because as we teach their friend, they remember the testimony they have and come back to church. The ultimate goal is a baptism and a reactivation. Oh other good news! I don´t know if any of you will remember this but clear back in my first transfer I taught a man named Marcos. He was the boyfriend of the less active girl in the Ferreyros family. I talked to the elders in my old area and he has been baptized and she is active in church again! I was so happy to hear that. He also told me that all the people that were baptized when I was there are still active. It made my day haha. Well I don´t have much more to report for the week. The big activity is coming up this saturday and we are hoping to see huge results. I know its going to go well. I love you all and thanks for everything. I know God lives and this is his work. I know Jesus Christ lives and He has overcome the world. This church is true! Have a great week!
Love, Elder Langston
