10/17/16 letter

Hola,
This week was really busy and a little bit stressful. On Saturday, we went to the Mesa Visitors Center with Manuel and all the sisters that serve in the visitors center were busy with other groups, so I got to be the tour guide for our group and one other group that come in from Sonora, Mexico, so that was fun.

On Sunday, Ivan got the Aaronic priesthood and he should be getting his temple recommend this week. He also spoke at the New Convert Devotional in Tempe. He was an hour late and came literally one minute before he went up to the pulpit. I went up there and translated for him and he did great even though he was super nervous. He just shared his testimony and conversion story. It was cool, he said "I know this church is true" with a lot of power and boldness.
Ivan is scared because his kids don't really want to come to church right now, but during our lesson on Friday, he said "I'll just have to read the scriptures and pray with them and that will help."

On Tuesday, we had a surprise MLC, so I went to Tempe with the zone leaders and we received a training about helping our investigators through every step in conversion. We started out with a scavenger hunt that turned into an object lesson and my team won!

On Wednesday, we went through the baptismal interview questions with our investigator, Shantal, to see where she was at, and she got them all perfectly right. Unfortunately, her husband is super active in another church and won't let her come.

On Saturday, we went out for raspados (Mexican snow cones with fruit, ice cream, and sweetened condensed milk) with two ward members and then went one splits and that was really fun.

I have lots of pictures to send, so I'll write more in the descriptions of the pictures.
Hope you have a great week. Not the best church attendance this week as far as investigators go, but hopefully this week is better.
Love,

Hermana Gubler
