Familia!
I forgot to
tell y'all thanks for the pictures. I loved them. That was a great part of the
package!
I love
General Conference. It was a great weekend to be able to listen to the voice of
the prophet and apostles. It just strengthens my testimonio every time and helps
me to be better and stronger spiritually. What parts did y'all like the best?
Favorite talks? Quotes? I would love to hear your thoughts.
There is a member in our ward who's name is Angel. He's 82 years old.
He's almost completely blind, can see a little bit, but very limited. He lives
about 15 min drive away from the church in a humble home and by himself. He was
baptized 7 years ago. Before that he attended 4 or so iglesias (churches) and always
wondered which was true. Walking it probably takes him about an hour to walk
from his house to the church. But without fail, every sunday he walks from his
humble home along the dirt and rocky roads with his cane in hand, to the church
to attend. And then this Saturday was General Conference and so it was in the
stake center. He walked from his house to the stake center...which took at
least 2 hours I would imagine, so that he could sit and listen to the Prophet
and Apostles of the Lord. Why does he do this? Because he´s converted. He knows
that this church is true. He knows that by obeying commandments he will receive
blessings. He knows that he´s a son of God and that God will bless him. He
understands. And his example touches my heart. I wish I could describe it all
perfectly so y'all could understand, really understand...but it's just hard to
put into words. But his example of faithfulness and devotion will be in my mind
forever.
Today we went on a hike to a Laguna (lake). Super pretty and super fun! Loved
it. Pics attached.
Short message today (didn´t have time to type my email before...sorry)
But just know I love you all lots. I´m praying for you constantly and grateful
for your love and support. It helps me every day.
The church is true. Just remember that.
Love,
Me
Our whole zone on a hike. |
