I hope this email finds you all well. This past week has been wonderful and we have seen many miracles. I have really felt the Lord refining me. IT IS HARD! But I am grateful for His patience and His love.
Mom thank you for your conversion story I will read it on my birthday :) Thank for forwarding my emails. You can send them to anyone you want :) And thank you for forwarding them to my MTC teachers. :)
This week we did the Mostra in front of Fllo Gardi's Bar (our ward Mission Leader). He owns the bar so we can do it without worrying about a permit. 2 members came, Fllo Lopez and Donka (a newly baptized member from Bulgaria).

We put up the mostra (a tripod with 3 giant panels: one about God, one about the Family, And one about the Book of Mormon) and then we just went around talking with people - like Mega-finding. Sorella Worsham and I had also made a little 5 question survey that we could ask people to start a gospel conversation. We did it to help the members in specific. It is a lot less scarier to stop people by saying "Excuse me, we are doing a survey. May I ask you these few questions?" Then on the same paper there were lines where they could write the name and phone number of the person, if they would like to learn more. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN: We talked to a lot of people. And got about 8 phone numbers. This past week we have been contacting and setting up appointments with all of them and there a lot of people who are interested to learn more. It was great! We are planning to do it again on Saturday.
Last night we had a lesson with a girl about our age and Sorella Lopez.

| Us at the Lopez's house. (slla Lope, Anziano Bethke, Anziani Cicon, Fllo Lopez, Slla Worsham, and Me) |
It was our first lesson with her and went very well. She had a lot of really good questions so we were trying to find the balance between answering her questions and also guiding the lesson. At the end of the lesson there was a really great experience that I would like to share.
I explained that we want to see her and answer her question and help her find the inner peace she said she was looking for. But she would not learn anything if she did not pray about the things we say. And if she did not develop her desire to follow Christ and be willing to act on what she learned. She said she would. We read Moroni 10:3-5 and it just really hit her. She started tearing up a little and just kept saying, "WOW" over and over again. She said, "I feel very strange... but a good strange I cant describe it." We explained that it was the Holy Ghost telling her that the Book of Mormon is true. She was so happy and wants to see us again. She wanted to read all of 1 Nefi by Sunday :) We said that that would be great. We did not want to discourage her!! :) If she wants to, please do!!
I want to thank you for all of your prayers. I have really been feeling them.
Also a reminder to all people who have not sent me their conversion stories, to email them to me!! Thank you!
Lots of love,
Sorella Preston
