MOM!
This week we were trying to get a lot of the less actives and new members to go to conference! I am so glad that two of the recent converts were ready to be there and their testimonies have grown so much! I was so happy to hear one convert say that he knows that Thomas S, Monson is a prophet!
My favorite part of the conference was Jeffery R. Holland's talk and D. Todd Christofferson's talk! I know that the second one was for dads but I felt my relationship grow stronger with my Heavenly Father and my father here on earth as I pondered the message! I only heard 5 minutes of Jefferey R Hollands talk because we had some problems with the internet but what I could hear was exactly what I needed! I learn that I do play a part in this plan and I am making a difference with every person that I talk to! I love the church with all of my heart and I know without a doubt that it is the true church!
We had received some revelation this week for our goals and we had some amazing stories! After my interview with you (Another note from Mom: Pretty sure I didn't have an interview with Cait, I would definitely remember that, so I'm not sure what she is saying here.) I knew what I need to do here in Atla and we have been working on finding families! I am happy to report that almost all of our investigators are part of families! Hermana Soria had received the revelation that we were going to find 10 new this week that were going to accept baptism. We started looking and the first day we found 1, the next day 2 and the next day 3. That left the rest for Sunday. With Conference, we didn´t have a lot of time to work but we left the conference with a great spirit that we started thinking about who we are going to visit and what we were going to share. As we were walking down the street I remembered that we had contacted someone and went to his house but he wasn´t there. As we knocked on the door, 4 smiling faces came to greet us! The man didn't end up living there but the familia Jaramillo accepted our visit and accepted that we would return! They have also accepted going to church but time escaped us and we didn´t have time to put a baptismal date! We had finished the goal of finding 10 new people to teach!
Also we have found a lot of miracles here. I woke up one day and thought. Today we are going to find a person with 3 asistences in the church who is ready to hear us. We started working and went to visit another part member family and that is when we met Alverado! He is a family friend that has 3 asistences and is ready to accept baptism! (Again a note from Mom: I'm not sure what she means by 3 asistences. If anyone knows, maybe you could fill me in.)
On Sunday Hermana Soria told me that we were going to find in the church someone that had all of the asistences and we are going to baptism him. As we finished the first session we met Juaquin! He is husband of a member and he offered to help us with visits! We have appointments with every single investigator and we are seeing all of the miracles because we have been obedient! (Last note from Mom: All I can say is HOLY COW! We might have a language barrier when she gets home. As you can tell, I kind of gave up the editing on this one.)
I love the church so much and I am grateful for this time that I have to be a missionary!

This is a note from Caitlin's mom, I decided to add Caitlin's email with no editing so she could some day look back on this and try to translate it to us.
