General Conference

Hello everybody I hope all is going well and that you were all able to watch General Conference! It is truly a blessing we get to gather as a church and hear the word of God. How blessed we are to live in these latter days and that all over the world we can listen or watch in our own language! What did everybody think about some of  the members of the quorum of the seventy speaking in their native languages? I loved it! I think it just showed that it is a world wide church and that God loves all His children. Some of the themes that I picked up on were : The Sacrament is Holy treat it as such, have a testimony of prophets especially the Prophet Joseph Smith, Seek the Savior learn of Him and His character become more like Him. Get out of Babylon and not just say it but do it. I loved Elder Hollands talk about helping the poor and the needy and how we should always give no matter what. I loved Elder Bednars talk about why we share the gospel it was such a great talk! We had a lot of less active members come to conference! It was so great to see them come out to church! One of the less active members we had been teaching for a few weeks said he would come to General Conference and he did! And when we went and talked to him he was like I felt that it was time to come back! Ah what a miracle! It was also so great to see Jennifer there! She is so great she comes out to all the activities and she always comes to conference and she stays for all of the sessions! Jennifer is just such a great example diligence.  This week was pretty good. We had some pretty good lesson and we are just working hard and trying to find people and help them. We had some really great experiences contacting and we have some lessons set up from passing by formers! We are doing pretty well and we are working really hard! I am just so tired all the time but its great because you know you put in your all. Yesterday when we were at home making lunch it was a bit dim but I didnt really notice it was dark until Sister Rawlings turned on the light and I thought that is like the Gospel people dont even really notice that they are sitting in darkness until some one turns on the light and we are just so committed to helping people find the light of the Gospel so they will no longer be in darkness. I love you all and I hope you have a great week!

Funny moment this week: We were street contacting this guy and we were being attacked by lady bugs! Well on the bright side we have a return appointment and we gave him a Book of Mormon! so that was great! Also we were talking with a member and she was telling us how her grandma could cure anything even warts and how her husband had a wart and she told him to go find a white horse and to go to the corner of the field and to say I wish my wart on the back of that white horse and how it worked but it was just so funny how she told this story!
