LETTER RECEIVED MARCH 12, 2012

Hey Mom!!!!

Wow that seminary day seems to have been the best as your student felt what peace and joy the spirit can bring.  I remember the feeling of being in seminary and the peace and happiness and the longing just to stay at the church building. I remember saying to someone, if only we could have school at the church just with our seminary class, that would be amazing.
What an amazing atmosphere that you all made. Thank you again for the hold to the rod program. We are going to do it. I told the branch about it and they really want to do it. I want to find a huge tent and lights and just make it the best ending ever. Pray that everything will happen that needs to.  I  hope it will be a success.

Well this week we were able to go over the baptismal questions with one of our investigators. She said early on in the teaching that she wanted to get rid of heavy feelings of guilt from her past.  So two days ago were went over the questions and she just started bearing some intense testimony. It was amazing and it was a very spiritual lesson. She said that she has felt forgiven for what she has done and has forgotten about it. Another concern of hers is that she had a hard time believing if God loves her. We invited her to ask Him herself and she was scared because she said, "what if he doesn't answer." Yup lack of faith. So anyway as she went to church, and as she read our reading assignments over and over and prayed and followed the WOW (word of wisdom) she was more open to the spirit..she said that Saturday night she asked God if He loved her. When she went to church the next day while sitting in Sacrament Meeting she said that she felt something come over her and then the question that she asked came into her mind. "do you love me?" she said that she took that for her answer. She now knows that she has a Loving Heavenly Father because she has felt it.

Last night we taught her proverbs 15:1 to help with her family. It is amazing. She is learning that being a member is not easy because we have high standards but she is super willing to do her best to live the gospel. Her Baptism is in 2 weeks.  

We are going to look for new less actives and our mission is to contact every single member of the branch here. Ok mom i love you. I am loving studying! We are doing some great work.

I love you long time!!

love,
Elder Conte
