hello my family. conference was really great. we
couldn’t{t
go to the first session in the morning because we didn{t have any
investigators, but the rest of it was really good. we went to a
secretaries
office to watch it in english because we really like hearing the
voices of
the apostles and prophets. it was a great conference. it was really
interesting how President Monson said that the sunday morning
conference was
one of the most inspiring he had ever heard. it was. i really liked
Elder Dallin
H. Oaks talk. i heard president Uchtdorf gave a good one too. i think
Elder Oaks{s
was my favorite. Elder Perry and all the first presidencies talks in
the
priesthood session were really awesome as well. i really liked what
Elder Oaks
was talking about when he was saying how a lot of times we put things
in
front of God. we can not do that. it happens a lot however and most of
the
time we dont even notice. i was also moved by the love President
Monson
expressed for his dear wife. i hope one day i can express love in such
a way
for my future wife. it was really touching. he is a prophet of God and
i know
it is true. i am so grateful for the modern day prophets that we
have.
i hope all of you learned something new and received revelation about
how to
better your lives. we exhorted a lot of people this past week to
listen to
the prophets voice. some listened to the call and were greatly
blessed. unfortunately,
some hardened their hearts or had other priorities and so they missed
out on
things that surely would have helped their lives much more. i guess
today i
wont talk a lot about what the prophets said because i feel like when i
listen to conference it makes more impressions in my heart than words
in my
head and so it is hard to share what i learned. we had 3 people that i
would
have really liked to have listen to the conference. well a lot more
than that
but 3 people specifically that could have benefited from it. one is
having
problems with her husband and is less active .the other 2 are
investigators.
one is trying to find the true path to happiness and the other is
trying to
get out of debt and all that. all 3 should have gone. but they didn{t.
i was
really wondering why. it just seems so obvious to me why we need to
listen to
a prophet and how important it is and all that and i coudnt believe
they
didnt want to go. well they all had their reasons and i wont judge
them for
that but it was really sad because there were things in conference
that could
have helped them. i tell you this because sometimes we don’t trust in
God
enough or in his chosen servants. we think we can do it ourselves
confiando
en nuestra propia sabiduria. or trusting in our own wisdom. we need to
trust
in God more. this doesnt mean just sitting back and waiting for
answers to
come or waiting for the path to be shown. we have to press forward.
always
keeping the commandments, always remembering the holy covenants we
have made
and we have to DO things. we can’t be lazy or just wait. we have to
take
leaps of faith. even though they might not be very big ones, it is
what we
have to do to really progress in life. if we do it we will grow little
by
little and one day we will be recomisated for our efforts. its ok to
make
mistakes. like what President Uchtdorf said in the priesthood session.
we
will fall but we must get back up. i have especially seen this to be
true in the missionary work and from what i have seen and heard and
learned,
we are all missionaries. as the prophet said and as it was repeated
various verses, now is the time for missionaries and members to work
together. so dont
ever stop moving or going forward. dont lose confidence in the Lord.
never
stop keeping the commandments and never forget your covenants. and
most
importantly, share the Gospel with everyone. this is what the Lord
wants with
all of us and it is for a wise purpose. well i love you guys a lot and
I’ll
try and send some pics. Adios
