From Eliza

Dear Family,
Sister Lieber and I have had a good week. As you know it was a little different this week. We had p-day in the middle of the week, and we went on exchanges twice this week with the CS 1st sisters. We also listened to a cd the elders gave us galled “the conversion of a Lutheran Minister.” It was so good. He told his conversion story, and it was very doctrinal and analytical, because that is how he is. A few weeks ago we listened to “the conversion of a Catholic Priest,” which we also got from the elders. His story was more personal stories, and promptings from the Spirit, because that is how he got converted. Well, both got converted by the Spirit, but the Lutheran was more of an analytical guy. Anyway, both cd’s were so good.
This week we also went tracting a lot. But it has been a really good week. Alex, one of our investigators, is getting baptized this Conference weekend. She was interviewed by Elder Porter last Friday, and is good to go. And church yesterday was just for her. The talks in sacrament meeting and the lesson in Sunday school were on eternal families. And that is the thing that Alex was interested in in the first place. It meant a lot to her because after church she told us that it is so cool how God is so involved in the little details of our lives. She was so ready for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love serving in Texas. We have found so many people that are just ready for the gospel. She is getting baptized and confirmed this Friday, and then hopefully is going to have an extra spiritual weekend watching Conference on Saturday and Sunday.
I’m so excited for General Conference. I can’t wait. I hope you all are doing well. Take care. Always, Sister Eliza Boren
