Familia!
Que tal? I hope everyone had an enjoyable conference
weekend, filled with delicious home made breakfast, sitting on the couch in
sweats, and maybe a nice nap in between sessions.
I loved conference! Obviously. I have so many talks that I
loved. But it was really interesting how almost every speaker talked about or
mentioned the importance of following the prophet. This world is crazy, there´s
so much sadness and wickedness, and we need to always be sure we are on the
right path. Well the best way to do that is to follow the living prophet of the
Lord. His name is Thomas S. Monson. He´s a prophet like Moses or Abraham. He
receives revelation directly from JesusChrist himself, to help guide us and
lead us back to Him. So follow the prophet. Don´t let pride or other things let
you stray from the Lord. If you follow the prophet, it´s sure that you will be
on the right path.
These were some of my favorite talks: Lynn G. Robbins, Elder
Jorg Klebingnat, Presidente Uchtdorf, Elder Bednar, Presidente Monson....ahh,
so many.
Here´s a link for those who don´t know what conference is,
or might want to watch (the talks will be written and posted within a week or
so):
Quote of the day. Jonathon came to general conference this
morning. We gave him a piece of paper to take notes. He just doodled instead.
He´s 15. At the end of conference we asked him what he thought, and his
response was, "algo aburrido.”(a little boring)
Ha. Well at least he´s honest. I felt the same way when I was a teenager. So
it´s normal.
This last week we had our meeting as leaders with Presidente
Spjut. I learned a whole lot. But I think what really impacted me was when we
talked about YOLO. Yep, that´s right, YOLO has now come to the mission. You
Only Live Once.
Well If you read in D&C 58:16, the assistents decided to
change it to YOMO, "You Only Mission Once". And while it´s silly, and
amusing in so many ways, it´s so true. This is the only time in my life I will
get to be a fulltime missionary for Jesus Christ. I won´t get up and preach the
gospel in front of a bus full of people when I go home. I won´t be able to just
talk to a million random people in the street and ask for their direction (address) to go
visit. I only have one mission, and it´s here and it´s now. And I want and am
going to give my all the best that I can for these last short 7 months.
Love you all to death. This church is true. Live it. Follow
the Prophet. Don´t forget to pray.
Love,
Hermana Wright
