Last week of the transfer 4/26/10

Hi everybody. How are we doing? Well the last week of the transfer is already here. We will be receiving the call to know if I´m staying or leaving on Sunday night. The rumor is that I´m staying because my companion has to leave to take care of some residency issues. Whatever happens, happens though right? That means I will be getting my third companion in Crevillente. This week we had less appointments and Derlis has disappeared! He is our investigator that had the baptismal date and now we can´t get a hold of him. We call him, pass by his house, we have even talked to his girlfriend and we still just can´t find him anywhere! Hopefully we find out whats up this week. He is a really good guy. We have good news with a different investigator though! Her name is Lorena and she has gone from being not sure that God exists, to wanting to come to church and reading the Book of Mormon for two hours straight! She is passing through some hard times right now. I testified to her that the Book of Mormon is full of God´s words and that we can find the comfort we need from it. I know its true. I have opened up the Book of Mormon so many times after praying and the answer is right there in front of me already marked just so I can see it easier haha. It testifies to me that God really is looking over me and that He loves me. We also had a special conference with Elder Hinckley (President Hinckleys brother) last week. It was so good. For one part of the conference he randomly chose elders and sisters to come to the front and teach the first lesson in front of everyone. They did that twice and each pair of missionaries was so scared because a member of the 70 and President Hinckely was watching them. To make it even harder we had to do it in english. I know that doesn´t make sense but it really is harder. Then after the two sets of missionaries did the role play, Elder Hinckley said he needed somebody else to do something. So he said "how about that missionary right there." He pointed to me. I was so nervous! But he said "We´ll go easy on Elder Langston." I was so thankful haha. I just had to pretend I was his investigator and respond to a baptismal invitation he made to me. I was still shaking the whole time. Needless to say, the conference was a blast and I learned so much. From both the Hinckley brothers...I guess you can call them that right? Well I love you all! I testify that Christ lives and He knows what we feel. I know He is our Savior and that this is His work. Have a great week, every single one of you. Adios
