So this week was AWESOME.
We had a Zone conference on Wednesday. We talked about a lot of the same things that we talked about in the Consejo, but we also got to watch the Meet the Mormons movie. It was fantastic. I totally loved it. I loved the part at the beginning when it showed the different views of Mormons. You feel like that a lot as a missionary...
Hey, we´re missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, have you heard of it?

Or the Mormons
(confusion changes to happiness)
Oh ya, you guys can´t drink coffee can you?
Everyone in Paraiso says that because Paraiso is a MAJOR coffee producer. There is a sign that I need a picture of that says
Paraiso, where the earth tastes of coffee.
We also had a Stake conference. I saw a powerful example of revelation. We had an investigator that went to the iglesia for the first time. She has been considering getting a divorce with her husband. The last speaker, Elder Morales of the Seventy, stood up and said [I feel impressed that I should talk to those of you who are thinking of getting a divorce[.
It was totally quiet. He then began to talk of the importance of the family, how divorce was a last (very last) option. He talked of many different ways to strengthen your family and fix problems.
Unfortunately, with how many people that came I wasn´t sitting by her. But her friend that brought her told us it was very powerful for her.
THATS WHY I¨m a Mormon. God speaks directly, not just by words written a thousand years ago.
So in general, it was a pretty inspiring week. Miracles exist!
I love you guys. Thank you for all your prayers.
Elder Henrie
