Speaking of
conference, WOW!! So many new things came to light and helpful tips and
motivation became clear! Obviously I'm going to start of with Jeffrey R.
Holland! His talk was so amazing about the love that mothers have and
how it was compared to the love of Christ! Mom, Thank you so much for
the Love that you show me! I love you so much! Unfortunately, the
satellite cut out in the middle of his talk...So I didn't get to hear all
of his talk, but I will look for it today! I loved the quote that said
-What is keeping me from Progressing personally-
This week, we
are doing something called a week of Sacrifice!! We are getting up at
5, getting ready, studying, and working from 8 am, to nine-thirty
at night!! Pray for me because it is going to be stressful but amazing!
Today actually, we only have 45 minutes to write our families, I don't
know why our Zone leaders did this but I'm just going with it! I know
that the Lord will bless me!
Something cool that I did! My branch mission leader, Elder Serrano, and I, Were on a bus to Heredia to watch conference on Saturday!
The whole bus was filled like none other!!! We were just sitting there,
and I got up, walked up to the bus driver and said ´'Can I sing a song´´
He said sure! so i got up in front of the bus, this time just me! and i
sang -Families can be together forever- The whole bus got completely
quiet as i sang and then invited them to look for Christ in there lives!
After that, the bus was quiet until we got to the last bus stop! Many
people smiled as they walked by me and some gave me a short, thank you. I
could feel the spirit so strong. I have never during my whole mission
got up and just started yelling at everyone. I have only sang to invite
the spirit. I know that music brings the spirit into whatever
surrounding! It is a tool of conversion! I love the savoir and the
things that I am learned out here in the field, and the wonderful things
that I learned during conference!
Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ Love you with all their hearts. They know
exactly how you feel in every moment in your life. I don't fully
understand the Atonement, and maybe never will, but I know that there
was a reason that Christ spent 2 times suffering physically on earth.
When we are down, lonely, stressed out, and just unhappy, they know!
Christ had to suffer for EVERY PAIN so that when we have pain, he knows
EXACTLY how to cure us. We just need to look, trust, and follow his
counsel. However, he also suffers a 3rd time now, as he watches us sin. I'm sure it hurts him again just as it did before. Always do the will of
the Lord, NEVER your own! -I God have suffered these things for all,
that they might not suffer if they would repent.- Repentance is not just
confessing your sins to a bishop, that is just the first step in
changing, but it is changing your heart to become more like the savior. A
change of action, thought, and spirit. I am not perfect when it comes
to repentance, but I know how much it can change someone. I love you all
so very much and hope that you all can take the things that you learned
from conference and apply them today, tomorrow, this month, and this
year. The Father and the Son will NEVER leave us on our own.
-God is our refuge and strengt
-Be still, and know that I am
A
scripture that I want all to look at this week is (Matthew 13:10-14) I
love learning about the life of Christ!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! HAVE A GREAT
WEEK!!!!
