Well, like always when we have baptisms
planned, Satan throws everything he's got at us and the investigators. Two
of the 3 won't be baptized this Sunday as previously planned. The other
one hopefully will but it's not 100% certain right now. He still wants to
and is ready but the problem is with his gpa and father. Ya, giant
story there that I do not want to take the time to write because it
would take forever! So ya, pray for E**!!!
HAHA so I feel
like I'm in my training again. With my compañion we are now speaking 3
languages each. Portuguese in the mornings, Spanish during the day, and
English at night. Ya, let's just say that in the mornings I don't talk as
much as I do during the rest of the day. It's a work in progress but
slowly I'm getting the hang of Portuguese. I'm still nowhere near being
able to speak fluently though. I'm good at reading it out loud though.
General
Conference was great! Gotta love the missionary equivalent of
Christmas! It was sad seeing Pres Monson give such short talks.
Powerful, but short. Actually, his talk Sunday morning was just parts of
like 2 or 3 of his past talks. I have those talks on my pen drive and
have listened to them enough that when he was talking, I recognized every
word. Elder Hales basically said goodbye :( We may have 2 more Apostles
soon......On the bright side, I really like Elder Stevenson as a new
Apostle. His talk was a great way to explain priesthood keys and their
significance and importance.
Now, the question is this:
What are you going to do with all of the counsel and advice that you
received this weekend? (I'm assuming you all watched/listened to GC, if
not, go repent and watch it.) Many times people ask "why are they saying
this again? They've said this a million times now". To answer that question I pose this question, "How hard have you tried to apply what they've said?"
The reason why the prophets repeat the same counsels over and over
again is because we, as human beings, are naturally stubborn and lazy in
nature and don't like working for the change. News Flash! We are not with
God. If we are comfortable with how we are now, it means that we are
comfortable not being with God. God is found outside of our
comfort zone. Now go and ACT! That is all.
So ya. That's
about it. Please be careful of witches offering some of their brew. If
you drink it, it may be the last thing you do.
Love you all!
