Buenos Dias!!
This
week was a good week and a frustrating week all at the same time ha ha
:) We worked hard Tuesday and Wednesday and had some good success. But
after that basically every one of our investigators went out of town for
the week. Wednesday and Thursday I think we had 1 or 2 lessons in total
and we were in the street a lot.
But
it was a great week because of General Conference (The semi annual
opportunity to listen to a Prophet of God and the 12 Apostles speak to
us to give us the guide and answers we need). It was great for 2
reasons:
1. We got to receive revelation and answers from the Servant of God
2. We got to sit down for 10 hours :)
I
really did love conference. I wrote 4 questions and killed a spider
crawling on my notes before conference started. In the sessions of
conference all 4 of my questions were answered thoroughly. It was a
great testimony builder that God is listening to my prayers and doing
everything to answer my questions.
Some of my Highlights from Conference:
1 Kevin W. Pearson
"To hang in there isn't a gospel principle."
This
life is to be enjoyed, not endured. We must persevere to the end, we
must enjoy the journey, we must change where we are and follow the path
to the end. If we "Hang in there" We aren't going to move, our situation
isn't going to change, and we aren't going to become happier
"#Greatandspaciousbuilding4knowledge isn't the correct source of information"
If
we really want to learn gods will, and how to be happy the pride of the
world is not the place to look. The humility in the lord will truly
lead us and our families to true everlasting Joy.
2 Pale G Renlund
"Twas I, Tis not I"
It
doesn't matter who we were, It matters who we are and who we are
becoming. Every person in the world will make a mistake, but if you have
the true desire to change and act on that desire God will forget, and
it doesn't matter, who you were before.
"A saint is a sinner who keeps on trying."
No
matter how many times we fall, if we keep pushing forward and keep
giving our best effort to improve we are just as much as a saint as
anyone else.
3. Wilford W. Anderson
"I can teach you to dance, but you have to hear the music"
In
our lives we can follow the routine and do what is required of us, but
if we don't hear the music or recognize the blessings or benefit of what
we are doing we will not enjoy the actions and will feel silly.
4. Boyd K. Packer
"A cookie and a kiss is the key to a happy marriage"
The
small and simple things in life to show love will help a marriage and
any other relationship grow. The small daily services will make stronger
bonds than large infrequent demonstrations of love or service.
I
learned so much from conference and it made a big impact on me. I
testify that the prophet is called of God to guide us in these difficult
times. I know that he will never lead us stray and that if we follow
his council the difficulties will never get the best of us.
This
week I ate alot of Cake to celebrate my birthday so I gained a little
bit... okay a lot a bit of stomach line. So this week we had lunch that a
member gave us and in the lunch it had light yogurt. I made the Joke
that they were trying to say something... but all the other missionaries
in my district agreed that they were saying something. So we decided
that I am only allowed to eat things that say "Light" on the container
in order to lose weight. So after that I ate my Apple (Light) Pear
(Light) and then received a small candy. I wanted to eat it so I used my
pen to write "Light" On the wrapper. Maybe I should start following the
advice ha ha :)
Status of Investigators:
1. M- Baptismal Interview today, If he passes he will be baptized this Sunday
2. P- Baptismal date: 19th of April if he attends church
3. J. Baptismal date 26th of April
4.
V: No baptismal date but has attended church 1 or 2 times and
has received lessons 1 and 2. We are going to try and place a baptismal
date this Tuesday.
That is how the sector is doing.
I love you all and invite you to watch conference if you didn't have the opportunity to do so.
Stay Golden!!
Love you all,
Elder Nielson :)
