Dear familia!

I love you mucho! I'm excited for this next week. We're going to the art museum today and Liberty Jail with some investigators tonight and 5th branch is putting on a musical fireside that we can hopefully get some of our members into.

It's been a good week. Things are picking up. I didn't die. I got a blessing. Conference was Great! \We had investigators there that really felt the Spirit on Sunday and we invited their little family to be baptized yesterday evening. We didn't get a yes or no, but it sounds like she's going to work towards Nov 1st. So that's really exciting. And I think the best part of that lesson was how she really talked. She's very shy, but she finally really talked about why she wanted to study the church and the things she has questions about. I hope she really prays. We invited her to.

I also succeeded in losing my planner yesterday. Sigh. I keep my brain in there. It's like how Dumbledore pulls the memories our of his head and puts them in a basin, so he can sort through them better. That's my planner. Normally, I sit here in the library, say a prayer and then flip through my planner to pick which lessons/experiences I want to share. I'm plannerless and so can only remember yesterday.

A goal I've had this transfer is expressing love for people. Really showing them I care, giving them a hug, making eye contact, telling them“I love you.” It's hard. I didn't think it would be. I'm pretty friendly as it is, but I feel out of character if I don't wrap warm fuzzies in sarcasm. Megan, you'd be so proud, I'm working on sounding sincere. So to my family and close friends...
I love you.

Thank you for showing me so much support and being my example. This is Christ's church and His gospel. The way to return to our Heavenly Father again. I know that's true.

Love,
Hermana Deb
