This week was crazy busy! We had our Sister's Conference in Sarasota on Tuesday. It was so fun to see all of the sisters together and to spend the day with them. We really felt of the love that both President Summerhays and the Savior have for us as sister missionaries.
We also had stake conference this weekend. It was amazing! Jose Araoz was asked by the stake president to bear his testimony in English at the adult session on Saturday night! I was so nervous for him, but he did an amazing job. the spirit was incredibly strong when he was speaking and I loved hearing his perspective of all that happened with his family last year. I am so grateful to have been a part of it. The general session on Sunday was wonderful. Several prominent church leaders spoke including Elder Ballard. Even though it was a broadcast from Salt Lake, it still felt as though they were right there with us, and that they knew exactly what our needs here in the southeast part of the country are.
After the conference, President Lopez gave one of our investigators a blessing. I won't go into details, but it was absolutely amazing; my skin had goose bumps based on what was said. I hope and pray he can find the strength to keep going on the path he has started on. He is a great man with a beautiful family. We have a goal baptismal date set with him for a few weeks from now. I know he will make that date if he exercises his faith.
I was thinking I had a lot more to talk about, but realize I am out of things to say! One exciting milestone occurred four days ago when I hit my one year mark as a missionary. I can't believe I have been serving for a whole year already. It seems like I just came out! Today during p-day with the elders we are going to burn a couple of clothing items to celebrate. Don't ask me why. It is a missionary tradition.
I love you All,
Hermana Levanger
