Dear Friends and Family:

Here are highlights of what I did this week:

1. Conferencia con Presidente Rogers. We learned about temples and why they are so important. We have a bunch of inactive members in our area. Our plan is to teach them about the temple. We also learned about the power of our thoughts. A thought comes before every action. If we learn to harness the power of our thoughts we can change our actions and our lives. The atonement can help us learn to control our thoughts.

2. We have two atheist investigators (from different families). One of them has a 6 year old daughter who doesn't know about God. We taught her that God is our Father and he wants to bless us. It was a neat experience. 

3. We did a Noche de Hogar (FHE) with Rodrigo. He lives with his grandparents. They sang some typical Peruvian music and we ate pizza.

4. We contacted a house and met Francisco. He is 11 years old. We showed him the book of Mormon and a card with questions. We asked him if he had ever asked himself any of the questions on the card. He said that he had asked if God really knew him, where do we go after death, and how can he stay away from sin. We looked up the answers in the Book of Mormon. It was basically the best contact ever.

5. Silvia, our menos activa, (less-active) came to church! Not only that, but she participated in the lesson and shared her spiritual experiences. Que Capa!!! I love seeing menos activos progress!

6. This morning we walked along the beach in hopes of catching a glimpse of some whales (ballenas). We didn't see any, but we did see a seal and a bunch of stray dogs. 

Challenge: Read a talk by Elder Bednar. He's a capo! Right now I am reading "In the strength of the Lord."

Lots of Love from Argentina,

Hermana Davis
