Hey Everyone!
Well this past week has been one heck of an adventure! To start out last Thursday we had a conference with President. This
time he decided to have it at a stake center that is out on the coast,
so we got up at 5 in the morning on Thursday to hit the buses! After a
very crazy 3 hour bus ride and changing between a few different buses we
finally arrived on the coast. The conference was good, but the
highlight was President allowed us all to take an hour and walk down to
the beach. We got to take some pictures and just enjoy the ocean
air. It was such a nice experience to get to go look at the ocean. It
was the first time I had seen the coast since I have gotten
here. The conference was good, President talked about how we can work
better with the members,
This week we all
had the wonderful opportunity to listen to our prophet and his apostles
and we were truly spiritually fed, and might I say, listening to these
guys with a mission plaque on your chest brings a whole new meaning to
everything they say. There were many things that I for sure will apply
to my mission as well as I hope that all of you will apply in your
lives. There were several talks that just blew me away, as well as it
was amazing to be able to listen to many people talk that I have met in
person, including a few of the apostles and a number of the members of
the 70's. It was great to hear the story from Elder Rasband about those
missionaries in New York. I heard that story once from him in person
when he came to Chile while I was in the CCM. I for sure think there are
tons of things we need to take from this conference, including 2 times
we were commanded to read the family proclamation to the world. I
invite you all to do that as well!
So this week
will be a week of white! One of my investigators is getting baptized,
as well as her daughter that I told you about last week. I am so excited
for them! It should be a great week!
One of my
favorite quotes from this week is, you can know the Savior, not
just learn of Him. I truly know that to be true. Our relationship with Him is so important, and it truly is a relationship and not a history
class way of learning of someone. I love to see my relationship as well
as others with our Savior grow closer. I love to see the change and the
light of our Savior grow in people's eyes as Elder Neto and I help these
people find the true path of our Savior.
So I am still working on that bike. ha ha! It's pretty far down the hill. Hopefully I will have it done by tomorrow.
Love you all! Have a great week!
