Still Teaching the Cuban Group

Today all of the hermanas are going to the mission home to spend our day! We are all super excited. But, that means I only have a few minutes to quickly write.... sorry! And it is suuuper early there so one one is going to be awake to chat but I hoe you all have a great week! 

 First off!!! MOM! I got your package!!! THANK YOU! Holy cow you have no idea how excited I was! It was such a perfect package! I loved the shirts, the talks, and flower thingys, and THANK YOU for all of the pictures! Holy cow you would have thought I had died and gone to heaven when I was looking at all of those pictures! 

 This week has been great. We have continued to teach the Cuban group but this week has been a really tough week for them. One of the guys in the group up and left without telling anyone and moved to the States and took some of their money. It has really really affected the whole group and their spirits have been way down this week. It has been so nice being able to be there for them though! I have once again seen the power of the scriptures and how the Book of Mormon is for our day and will help us in any and every situation we are in. Dani! Ahh he hasnt smoked in a week! OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM FOR HIM! I am so proud of him and I am so excited for his baptism on the 12th. We still are praying so hard for him because he says that the temptation is still there and still super strong. But he is gaining a testimony of the power of the Book of Mormon through this which has been so neat to see. 

 Family... conference! Ah so amazing right? We dont get to watch Sunday afternoon session because it wasnt availablle till like 11 at night last night or something like that but Saturday evening we watched the RS broadcast and Saturday morning session and then yesterday we watched Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning! Did you guys hear Elder Ballard?! He talked about us! Haha it was only like a sentence but we were all pretty excited. Saturday evening we had CArlos, Reinier, Duglas (part of the cuban group and has a date for the 13th!), and Dani with us! And then Sunday CArlos, REinier and DAni came! Ah it was so wonderful. You should have seen the excitement on their faces when they heard the rofet speak! It made my heart happy. 

 Covenants was a huge theme for this conference and I just loved it! Also, the importance of working together as missionaries and ward members to bring salvation to every soul. It was a wonderful conference. It was broadcasted at the chapel and there was one room for all the missionaries to watch it in english so I watched all in english but the Saturday afternoon session I watched in Spanish. I cannot wait for the ensign to come out so I can study each talk again! 

 Well, we get transfer calls on saturday so next monday when I email I might be in a different area! I am going to be so sad if I get transfered out of Barrio 5! I love it here and I love being here with Hna Caballero. But, I know the Lord has a secific plan for each one of us. 

 Oh.... gues who I saw at conference?!?! FATIMA y BELEN! Oh my gosh you have no idea how excited I was to not only see them but to see them at conference! Fatima had a rough time with the elders in the beginning so she didnt get baptized last week like Hna Munden and I had planned but she has a date for the 26th of October! And Sweet Belen is still progressing! She emails me each week and oh my, it just makes me so happy. Seeing both of them made my whole weekend! 

 Ok thats all the time I have. Thank you family for everything! I love you so much! 

 Love, Hermana Heims
