What a great
conference!! (For the two out of five sessions that I saw - ha ha). They
had it streaming live so we watched a session Saturday at 6:00 p.m. but the one
at 10:00 p.m. was too late. Then we watched priesthood at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday
morning but the connection was super bad and so we only watched like half of it
and we watched it in Spanish. Then we had another session at 6:00 p.m. Sunday
afternoon but we could only watch half of it because we had to catch the plane
to Barcelona for concilio ayer; hence why I am writing today ha ha. But I am excited
to get the talks in the Liahona to read them, or watch them online in the near
future. Yeah I only saw a few talks, but they were really good!!
I really liked President
Uchtdorf’s talk about not sleeping through the restoration and Elder Holland’s
talk about defending your faith, but with courtesy. And that made me
really think because as a missionary people always attack us and tell us the
meanest things (but nobody has thrown potatoes at me yet ha ha) so it was a
good reminder to really defend our faith as much as we can but to do it in a
courteous way, which can be just as hard sometimes. When someone yells at
you, you just want to yell something back!! But obviously the Savior wouldn’t
do that. So thanks Elder Holland!! And I think we all love how intense he
is, the most passionate speaker we have.
Concilio was really
good, Hermana Pace made us homemade Cafe Rio!! I ate way too much....but in the
meeting they focused on us talking to everyone. De hecho, they made us
leave the meeting and go outside and contact and find people for an hour and a
half. That is how much President Pace feels about talking to people. So
hopefully we can get that across to our zone tomorrow in zone enfoque. He
is going to be here next week for interviews and is going to take our whole
zone out to lunch that day for breaking the record, he called us to ask if it
was Ok and we said of course!! He is such a funny guy.
We are teaching a lot
of people and inviting a lot of them to be baptized, and we are trying to get
them all to church, not a lot of people came last week. And we are
working with a lady who called us from our card, but neither of us remembers
talking to her at all....such a miracle!! She said she is looking for the light
in her life and so we told her baptism was the way! And she is on track to do
it, but she has been smoking for FORTY YEARS. So we are going with the
Word of Wisdom lesson today.
Well that’s about it,
love you all so much!! Que os vayáis bien!!
