October 3, 2022 - Wasn't the music just so good at conference?

 Week 59

Each week goes by so fast! And this week was no different. We had a big miracle come this week in the form of members. One of the investigator friends of the ward has been coming to church for about 2 years but has never been baptized because she couldn't stop drinking coffee. Well a few weeks back we had a lesson with her and she said that as soon as she could save enough money to start buying cafe de maíz she could stop drinking coffee. Well we helped speed up the process by giving her cafe de maíz. And during this time a member was there helping and supporting not only her, but also her daughter. On Saturday they came to the church to watch the sesiones, and there the sister told us she wanted to be baptized and with her daughter and the member they had organized a date and then came to us and told us that they wanted to be baptized this week. It will be a crazy week helping them get ready, but it is such a happy miracle for all, especially after some time! 

General conference was great! And like many I have had questions about little random things and I found answers in so many conference talks. It reminds me of how in an EDS lesson we had this past week, someone was very surprised when we read a scripture that answered their question exactly. Our Heavenly Father really does want us to know the truth and will always be trying to lead us to it, but to understand it, we have to want to understand and be looking! Also I just have to say again the church does such a good job advertising people say they saw and responded to our announcements after listening to a song or after opening a newly downloaded Bible app. 

And to put an end to the area saga, we got to keep our area! President met with the stake president and decided that as missionaries we should respect the long held agreement that the stakes have. We think we understand why it all started though because soon after the problem got solved we put someone else on date 👀

Some one liners from General Conference! 

- Your covenants are what give you a special connection with Him.

- Trials and suffering are part of life, maybe even a good life. 

- We can transform our divine nature into our eternal destiny. 

- We follow Him everywhere! 

- The opportunities that await you in the mission are unique. 

- So many wonderful things are ahead. He will bestow countless miracles among the faithful. 

- Do you love the Lord? Spend time with Him! 

- Love Them more than anyone or anything. 

- Give a Book of Mormon to your friend!! 

And to finish I would like to share the words of our dear Prophet Russel M Nelson because I LOVED the moment when he shared them… 

"I love you. Let God be with you till we meet again."
