I hope you all had a wonderful
weekend with General Conference. I know we had an amazing experience here
listening to these men of God. What a blessing it is to have a Prophet and
Apostles of Jesus Christ in our day.
We had a pretty normal, busy week. The
work is moving along at lightning speed. Sometimes it can be hard to keep up!
We know the Lord is blessing us. It is an exciting time to be a missionary.
Something cool that we got to do was
play some soccer with a young man in the ward and some of his friends. The
weather was just about perfect, and we played some 4 vs. 4 soccer for about an
hour and a half, which made riding a bike the rest of the day a very sore
experience ;) Luckily my soccer skills are improving thanks to Elder Sanhueza's
sound training, and the gringo didn't completely embarrass himself in front of
team Mexico. We had a great time, and ended by teaching about prayer and having
one with them. It was awesome, and hopefully when we go see some of those
friends later, we will see a lot of success with them. They were all really
cool guys.
Conference, of course, was
fantastic. We watched the majority of the sessions at the church. We watched
the Saturday afternoon and Priesthood sessions in Spanish, but the rest in
English. For the last session, we were going to go over to a recent convert
family's house to watch it with some of their family members who we are going
to begin teaching, but when we got there there was totally no one there.
Totally got ditched. :P So then we
walked over to Sergio's house to watch what we could catch of it with him,
which was good because we haven't seen him in what seems like forever! Ever
since he got a job it is like we don't exist anymore ;) But it was great and he
is doing well. Luckily I was able to understand most all of the Spanish
sessions. Pretty cool being able to listen to it in the language of God ;)
I really enjoyed conference. We
really need to strive to be examples and disciples of Christ in every moment.
We must love, be kind, humble, meek, and always hoping and acting. This is a
gospel of peace and hope, and we must believe in Christ, and believe Him. He is
there for us. We must do what we can, and remember that he is always there to
help us. We are pulling with Him on our side. We can rely on His strength as we
press forward.
Time is short! I love you all and I
hope you have a great next week. Thank you so much for your love and support
and prayers. This is the Lord's work. I know that this is the true church of
Jesus Christ. His gospel and authority is found in it. I hope you all have a blessed week! Love,
Elder Stone
