| Exchanges with Sister Seymour! |
Teaching in San Antonio has kinda died down a little bit. Since we're working with single adults, lots of them are leaving this week for Thanksgiving, and several of our investigators are starting to drop our appointments and not respond to our texts. So yeah super frustrating, but we're planning on doing a lot of contacting this week and hopefully finding some new investigators!
We taught Emma on Wednesday night about the blessings of the temple! She is still deciding on when to get baptized because she still has some concerns with the Word of Wisdom, but she really wants to enter the temple one day with her fiance and desires to have an eternal family. Elizabeth (recent convert) was with us in the lesson, and when Emma shared her concerns about the Word of Wisdom, Elizabeth was so supportive and shared her experience with dealing with the Word of Wisdom in order to be baptized. It was so perfect! Elizabeth is really good friends with Emma, so it was awesome to have Elizabeth be that support system for Emma, and we're hoping that Emma will warm up to the decision to be baptized really soon!
We also had a lesson with Elizabeth this week and are starting to teach her all the lessons again. Elizabeth is seriously so golden! She has been a member for 5 months and she is already dead set on receiving her endowments as soon as she can! We taught her about the Restoration, and towards the end of the lesson when we talked about the Book of Mormon we all went around and shared our testimonies about the Book of Mormon. Elizabeth gave a beautiful testimony of how through the Book of Mormon she knows that Heavenly Father loves her and has a plan for her. She was in tears and it about brought me to tears as well! It is so amazing to see the people that God has prepared to receive the gospel and how the gospel truly can change someone's life.

I want to add to Elizabeth's testimony, that I know Heavenly Father loves every single one of you SO MUCH! He has a perfect plan for each of you. He knows and understands all of your heartaches and your frustrations. He rejoices when He sees that we are happy. He is our literal Father, and we are His children. All He wants for us in this life is to feel joy and happiness, and I know that true happiness is felt as we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. I love y'all with all my heart! But most importantly, please know how much our Savior and Heavenly Father love you!!!
Con amor,
Hermana Barlow
