How are you doing? I hope you all enjoyed conference as much as I did. It was the best weekend ever!
I really enjoyed President Uchtdorf's talk about how Christ can help us rebuild our lives. As he spoke, I thought of this couple we are teaching. Rudy and Yolanda are a young couple that we found a couple of weeks ago. We found Rudy one day when he was sitting outside his door, with sadness in his eyes and we knew we had to talk to them. We have only taught them once because it's been a little hard to find them. Anyway, Yolanda has 4 or 5 kids, almost all of them are from different partners. Rudy just moved in with her a few months ago. Last Sunday, we went to knock on the door and Yolanda's sister and partner were there, drunk, and said that Rudy wasn't there. We walked away (the house had a strong scent of alcohol) when Yolanda yelled out ''Hermanas!'' We went back and she said that Rudy didn't want to come out (I think he was embarrassed for being drunk), and told us to come back another day. We still haven't been able to find them again, but I know we will in God's time. I just want them to know the hope they can have through their Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am so grateful for this restored gospel in our lives. I know Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God and I know that Christ is at the head of this, His church. I know that He lives and loves us. He knows each one of you and is there to lift you up. Just trust Him. Do what He asks of you and you will feel His precious love.
I love you all soooo much and I hope you are able to apply everything you've learned in conference. Have a wonderful week and remember you are a loved child of God!
Love, Hermana Winward :)
