| Temple with Maria! |
Sometimes I wonder why we even do all this. If God wanted to, he could snap His fingers and everyone would have all the knowledge about the true church they could ever need right in front of them, with a priesthood holder already filling the baptismal font. But then I have experiences like this:
On Friday Maria went to the temple to do baptisms for the dead for her first time! She loved it so much. She said that while she was there she heard or felt something tell her that what she as doing right now would not only bless the people she was getting baptized for, but her and her family as well. When we walked out she said this is a "gran obra" which is a big, very good, or important work. She said she felt completely at peace, especially about some difficult family situations she has right now. At church she told everyone in the class that she went to the temple and wishes she could go back every single day. I can't explain my joy. This is what it's all about- all that door knocking and tracting and talking to people. Every rejection is worth it if the result is someone like Maria.

We went on exchanges in Prestbury and Oswego this week! We also covered the mission office for a day, that was cool. Good thing none of you called the office, or I would have answered the phone! We did lots of other stuff this week but here are some pictures instead.
Con amor, hermana Hokanson
