Hello family and friends yet again!! Well this week I am full of gratitude in my heart and mind for the love of my Savior I was able to feel this week through general conference. It honestly is the only thing I really want to talk about in my weekly today. First I will just quickly update you on my week of missionary work. We were able to meet with sister veronica and that was it. She fed us all kinds of food cause that's what she loves to do every time that we come over:) I don't complain because its the best food ever... not this crap street food that gets me sick all the time. We just stopped by for 30 min and talked to her, asked here how everything was and just tried to show that we truly care for her and her family. She noticed and expressed gratitude that we are visiting her and teaching her! No new investigators again, and that is always discouraging, but after conference it just boosted our spirits right back up! Please pray for me and Elder Wolcott that we will start to see success from the hard work that we are doing.
Well conference was just very special for me!! Me and Elder Wolcott made sure we stopped by 24/7( The maverick of Utah) and got necessary drinks and snacks for conference. There was a special excitement for conference this year and we made sure we ran with it! All the missionaries gathered in the Lajpat chapel with some of the members and we watched both sessions on Saturday and Sunday! The messages that were shared and the topics that were brought up were incredible... especially Dallin H. Oaks!! "Hi im Dallin H. Oaks"( Mic Drop) haha. After conference I was given a strong desire and energy to study all the talks. I have printed out every talk and I'm adding to the notes that I already took! I didnt have much success this week (missionary work wise), but the words of a prophet and his apostles have given me a desire to study their words and print them on my heart!! This will help me be more successful which is what I want. That is pretty much the update for the week. Im loving being with Elder Wolcott. We have grown close and are really creating a great friendship! I am grateful for my mission and for the things I'm learning! I love all of you so much and want you to know i pray for you daily! I hope you have an amazing week!!!
Spiritual message:
First I want you all to know that with all the energy in my heart and firmness in my voice... I KNOW THAT RUSSEL M. NELSON IS A PROPHET OF GOD! The announcements made at conference could not have been made by man, and by President Nelson himself. They were made by God, through a true and worthy Man of God and Prophet of God. I love my prophet with all my heart and know that all the words that he shared with us are true. We need to confide in his words, have faith in them and act upon them!! As we do so we will be able to stay on the covenant path and have true happiness and joy.
Second, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said something that stood out to me and hit me hard. He said that we have to "Believe, Love, Do". This seems so simple, but it is so true. This phrase applies to literally all things in our lives. Our wants, our needs, our challenges, trials, pains and dreams!! If we first BELIEVE sincerely, then with faith we can have success, get through trials and challenges, fulfill dreams and have our needs met. We then must LOVE. We have to have sincere love for our Savior, our families, our friends, our enemies, ourselves and most importantly our Heavenly Father. This love will give us energy... a special kind of fire given to us by the Holy Ghost and a desire to act. The last thing is we must DO. When we receive this fire we must get up and work for the things we want! With the Saviors help as we DO we will be blessed, taken care of, lifted up, healed and be able to make accomplishments in our lives that will keep us on the covenant path and prepare us for eternal life. I promise that as we apply this simple phrase to our lives we will become true disciples of Jesus Christ and we will be happy, blessed, healed, made clean and put on the covenant path!! Decide now whom you will serve, and always remember that "today is the perfect day to change". This is my testimony with boldness, firmness and love to you all. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
