This week was good. Normalish. On friday my comp had to be in a meeting for all the leaders so we both got to go to the capital for the day. I got to see all of my companions thus far!!! It was awesome! :)
Something funny, everyone is putting up Christmas decorations!!! Trees, lights (even our house!! haha), the whole shabang! They really love Christmas which makes sense because they are very Christ centered people.
As I´m sure you all know, this weekend was General Conference. We got see all of the sessions which was awesome!! But all in spanish. It was an interesting experience to not hear their real voices. My favorite talks were Elder Uchtdorf´s and Elder Godoy. I love how Elder Uchtdorf so firmly stated that the most important thing that we can gain in this life is a testimony of this gospel. It is the most powerful thing. Without a testimony of this truth, what are we living for? ¨When we gain light and use it to praise God, we will gain more light.¨ So powerful. Elder Godoy beautifully complemented Elder U´s talk when he spritiually slapped probably a lot of people in the face by saying ¨If you keep living the way you are, will you receive the blessings stated in you Patriarchal Blessing?¨ Boom. This gospel is not a sit down and wait for the Lord to come again, but rather do everything in our power to prepare the world for when He does come. Heavenly Father expects so much of us and in return He is willing to give us far more than we give Him. I loved hearing the worlds of the Prophet and Apostles. It brings a peace similar to that of the temple.
So this weekend being so special with Conference and all, we decided to fast with one of our investigators Sandra. She has doubts and questions about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and has such a stong desire to get and answer. She came to the first session on sunday and it was such an answer to our prayers that basically every speaker in that session talked about profets. I know it was exactly the thing she needs to know that the BOM was written by and translated by Profets of God. If all goes as planned, she will be baptized in about two weeks. :)
I have no doubt that this church is true. I love the gospel so much and I couldn´t be more blessed than to be able to share it with the people here. Thanks for your prayers and support.
Love, Hermana Perry
