Happy tears were shed when President Nelson announced a temple will be built in McAllen, Texas! The work of the Lord is moving forward, and words can't express the excitement we feel for the people we've taught and the members here in the Valley. We're excited to keep working hard to invite everyone to receive the blessings of the temple!
We started off this week with a rainy service project for some people we are teaching. Luckily Brother Arce was willing to let us use his yard tools!
We had some really cool lessons this week- including a young man named Angel. He requested the Book of Mormon online just because his friend is a member of our church! His friend started talking to him about what we believe in and Angel became really interested. We gave him a chapel tour and taught the restoration. As we were sitting in the sacrament meeting room, he said, "I've never felt the spirit more strongly in my life." Be member missionaries and share the gospel with your friends! You can change their lives forever! :)
Another cool experience- our friend Chelsea walked an hour to church this week. After watching the Sunday morning session I asked her how she liked it. She said, "when we were all singing, I almost burst into tears. It was lovely."
I know we represent the true church of Jesus Christ, and that everyone who comes with an open heart will feel the Spirit testify of the truthfulness of the gospel.
