This has been a wonderful week. Conference was truly so inspired and powerful. I love that we have prophets and apostles who lead and guide us in our day. They make so many sacrifices as they serve the Lord, I am so grateful that we have the oppertunity to sustain them. I add my testimony to our beloved apostles that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God. And we need to listen to the prophets voice and follow his council. If you are not reading the book of Mormon every day, then get started! My darling Sister Elizabeth gave me the invitation to read the book of Mormon before I get home so I'm working on it! I'm already in 2nd nephi and I love the council and direction I receive. I truly have a testimony that the book of Mormon is the word of God. It is true and of we live what it teaches our lives will be blessed in so many ways. :) Also I add that you take a moment to read and study the living Christ. I am going to memorize it before I come home. It will be awesome!! Remember, if a 6yr old can do it, you can!
Other than that a highlight if this week was Alberto!! He is doing so well! He is truly progressing in the gospel and his faith is increasing. He was able to come to a session of General Conference and it was perfect. He really felt the spirit. We then were able to have dinner and a lesson in a members home after the last session. It was so spiritual! He was so touched and that home become such a holy place. Brother Hartz offered to give him a blessing and it was so spiritual and uplifting, Alberto is preparing to be baptized on October 14th. A week later than planned but I know he'll be ready then! I love teaching him, he is just so prepared! :)
We had an awesome district meeting this week! Our district is so wonderful. We are getting closer together and learning how to work in unity. We are as a district taking time to sacrifice something so we can have great miracles this month, I know sacrifices bring great miracles! I love everything!! Our meeting was uplifting becuase we focus on what we do well not just on where we are struggling. Elder Holland talk from conference was so powerful. If you are on the path stay in it! Even if your staggering along on the path the most important thing is that you are on it. Remember his talk from a few years ago when we said, "You get points in the gospel for trying, even if you don't succeed." I know this is true and it is so reassuring! Have peace my loved ones. Remember you are doing better than you realize and you are good enough!!
Also mini-shout out to my Sister Elda who is now happily married. Sister Ridenour and I celebrated by going out to eat and getting ice cream. I'm so happy for this next step in her journey. And the opportunity to have an eternal family is such a gift within the gospel. I loved Elder Oaks talk on the family proclamation. He was so powerful and so right. The family is from God and the family proclamation his his plan for us to find happiness within our families. Take a moment to study it this week and tell you what you learn! :)
Love you all!
