Focus on the Temple

HOLAAAAA
hahaha the library is so quiet but i end up laughing so loud at all of your guys emails every week when i get on. this week was pretty good. last wednesday we went to transfer meeting and I had to say goodbye to hermana briggs..i shed a couple tears im going to miss her a lot haha president saw us all hugging and was like "im sorry sisters" it was a bummer but the Lord needs her in Ramona now so its just me and sister chamberlain.. its kinda weird just living in an apartment with the two of us now but super fun i love her and we get along great. we had stake conference this past weekend and the stake president is starting a "Temple focus initative" so were trying to get everyone online to do family history and then to the Temple to do the work for their family members I think its awesome because everything we do should be leading us to the Temple and a lot of members and less actives arent going to the Temple as much as they should.

This week in our district meeting our district leader posed this question for all of us to think about..."what can i do right now to act in faith?" I love that question because faith really is all about action and even though sometimes its scary to act in faith but "we can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us" so ive been thinking about that question a lot this week.

last night was the best part of the week though. we had an a appointment with a woman last night who we taught a short lesson to last week but we were going to teach her the Restoration yesterday so we knocked  on her door went in and were talking to her for a minute then her husband comes home from work and walks back to the bedroom or something but we wanted to start the lesson so we asked the women if anyone else in her family would want to listen and she said her husband would so she got up to go get him and for some reason both me and my companion got super nervous and that doesnt usually happen so we were just like ahhhh but anyways they both came back and we taught the first lesson and it went so good- we were talking about joesph smith and had the husband read james 1:5 and he started getting choked up and at the end of the lesson he was crying. wow it was incredible the spirit was so strong and me and my companion could both feel that the Lord has big things in store for that family. we are so excited to meet with them again.

anyways though I love the people here in chula vista ah its so awesome to get to teach and testify about Christ and this gosepel everyday. hahaha some people look at us like were crazy but many more are loving and kind and want to learn more about their Savior. I hope you all have a good week!! Im always praying for you!! xoxo hermana koelliker
