Really the highlight of my week was Conference and the results of the Conference. First I am so afraid that President Monson won't make it to the next
conference. Its weird how much love one began to have for a man I have never
talked with personally. But I remember when he came to the celebration in Idaho for the temple and I could feel the Spirit. That's when I received my testimony of modern Prophets. Even though I have never talked to him I love President Monson. I was
praying that God could help him finish his talk. I thought he was going to pass
out or fall down. He is a consecrated member.
I watched most of the Conference in English. I loved it. I didn't have air
conditioning but I got to learn in my natural language. I got to the conference
with one question. That question was if I should wait a certain time after the
mission to seek to get married. I know mom you don't like these questions but as
a soon to be returned missionary I know what needs to be done. But I asked for
guidance to know if I should wait. Well Elder Hales responded to me. He said that one
should not pass their 20s dating and set aside marriage only to have a good time, something like that. I understand that you got to date to marry.Here is a link to Elder Hales talk
Other than that I loved listening to Elder Bednar in the end. I loved to
hear and learn that as a young adult I have a lot of abilities, therefore I can
do many things and my attention is divided. But as one gets older, one begins to
lose such abilities, so you start to focus on what really matters most. I think
that is very suiting for the situation of President Monson. Here is a link to Elder Bednars talk
Also I loved Elder Holland's talk. I wasn't expecting him to talk about MOMs. But that was a major thing in the conference. It made me miss you mom a lot. It
opened my eyes to the importance of women in Gods plan. We need to worship two
people. Christ for redeeming us, and also our moms for in Spanish it also referred
that mom "you are my redeemer along with Christ." Very impacting. Here is a link to Elder Holland's talk
Also I was in an exchange this week and I had a dream that I was with this
other man, we were about to jump in a pool when a man in a suit came out and
said hi. He was short, chubby. and a little bald. Then I looked at the other man
with me. He had told me that he was the next apostle. He had said his name but I couldn't remember it when I woke up. It was one of those things that if I could
hear it I would remember. Well after waking up I looked at the chart of the
prophet and apostles and the 70. Well I chose Elder Rasband. How weird but
cool. Due to technical difficulties I didn't get to listen to their
messages. Here is a link to Elder Rasband's talk
Also yesterday I was in a leader meeting. I learned a lot about focusing on
what is most important and helping people to progress. During the conference we
had 22 people in the church. 9 of those have baptismal dates. There for the rest
we need to work and extend the baptismal date. That's our success for this month
and the next month.
Its getting close but I am not distracted. I am focused. I am not like David Whittmer in Section 30 of the Doctrine and Covenants Verse 1 and 2. I got my
eyes only of the glory of God. Until I am no longer His representative.Here is the link to the scripture reference.
I love you so much. Have a wonderful week.
