sooo another FANTASTIC week!
Wow!
was that General Conference just great or what! i feel sooo spiritually
fed and full of inspired words from our beloved prophets and apostles! i
completely sustain and know that all the men who spoke to us this past
weekend are men of god! called to recieve revelation directly from
heaven to give down to us for our benefit. indeed, i loved conference!
but conference was a little weird here.. because argentina is 4 hours
ahead.. the morning session didnt start till 1 in the afternoon.. but i
still wrote morning session!! ha and then priesthood didnt start till 9
at night!! so crazy! but we watched it the following morning! in
SPANISH!! oh that was the craziest thing! i understood about 1 in every
10 words.. soo im not feeling too bad! they just talk faster than i can
comprehend! but im getting better! last week i had an experience with
elder donahoo (my companion) where the words just came out naturally in
spanish.. its as if though i was talking in english! so i know the lord
is helping me and making it possible for me to learn and speak spanish!
during
the break between conference we just stayed at the church building
where we were watching, and as we walked around talking to all the
members who came.. the sisters had brought an investigator who has
committed to be baptized.. and she wanted me to baptize her! it was the
coolest thing. as i talked to her i could feel her desire and her love
for this gospel! ( the people of argentina are just the BEST!) i love
this great work! and i know its real with all my hear! i have been
called here by a prophet of god, and he wants ME to preach the gospel of
jesus christ to all that will hear.. that is my great calling and im
proud to serve in the lords army!
i
sure hope all of you are doing well! argentina is starting too cool
down.. its alot like arizona though.. its hot during the day and the
mornings and evenings are very windy and chilly! but ive got great
winter clothes that im busting out very soon to keep my spirit warm!
i sure do love all you guys and will keep you in my prayers!
