Watching Conference
Our Apartment
I
am emailing early this week so that we can go to San Pedro to play soccer. We are meeting our zone at a soccer facility
called “Sports Mania”. We had a good
week which was topped off by an amazing Conference weekend. I felt the Spirit so powerfully watching
conference and it doubled my testimony.
My two favorite speakers were Elder Ballard and Elder Schmutz (of the
70). Elder Schmutz’s talk spoke to my
heart powerfully.
I
have a picture of the 8 gringos from our district all watching conference in
the High council room of the Stake Center in Chamelecon.
Overall,
I felt like the first and last sessions were the most spiritual for me, and the
2 middle ones were the most instructive.
We have yet to watch the Priesthood session (in English). We tried to watch it in Dos Caminos but there
were issues with the power going out (which has been happening a lot
lately).
Even
without Conference, this week was really cool.
I have seen some cool conversions in our investigators, especially a
woman named Dalia. She told us that ever
since the first time we spoke to her, she has seen her life change dramatically
for the better. She has turned out to be
awesome.
Before
we met her, she had issues with demonic spirits around her home. However, since we started visiting her,
they’ve gone away. She also has little
money and no employment but she put all the money she did have together to come
from Dos Caminos to Chamelecon with her 5 kids to see a session of General
Conference. She is one of several
awesome families we are teaching right now.
I
have really seen my patriarchal blessing come to pass (about my mission) and
I‘ve only been here in the fields 1 change (6 weeks). I hope that you all can really try to apply
conference to your lives. I know it has
already started to change mine.
Love,
Elder
