Week 12: General Conference

This week has been a lot of finding as well. A lot of walking and knocking again but our work this week has paid off because we now have 2 investigators from tracting. A miracle that I have seen is the heart of one of the mom's of our recent convert Jasmine has been softened so much that she wants to learn more and she says she wants to join our church!! How great is that? Before Jasmine was baptized she was opposed to joining but once she saw the incredible change that her daughter has had it made her want to know more! 

Fiesta Time!

General Conference was incredible! Every question that I had coming into it was answered when I left. I have never paid as close of attention to conference as I did this time. I had 18 pages of notes that I took now I need to condense them down to maybe like 8 to 10 hahaha. It makes me wish that I had paid more attention to it in the past because it is so beneficial! One thing that I learned that opened my eyes about it was, "The Lord feels General Conference to be so important that we pass on the ordinance of the sacrament for a week!" I never thought of that but it really shows how crucial it is. Elder Anderson's talk at the end had the most powerful spirit that I had felt and I was totally locked in, especially when he quoted Elder Hales. My eyes welled up with tears. I love it! I also had to keep the tradition alive with going to get sushi after priesthood conference so I am good!!!

Keeping the sushi tradition alive!

The weather out here is so comfortable. It is around 70 and 80 most days! I found out my shoes are completely waterproof. Not in the way that I wanted to but it works. We were out  biking and were a lot of miles from our home and a flash flood happened. It was so high I loved riding in it haha. It is so great here!

Haircut!

I did end up getting a haircut! it is shorter than I have ever had it and at first I was regretting the decision but now it is slowly growing on me.

  

Elder McMinn

When we choose to have faith, we are prepared to stand in the presence of God. After the Savior's crucifixion, he appeared only to those who had been faithful in the testimony of Him while they lived in mortality, those who rejected the testimonies of the prophets could not behold the Savior's presence nor look upon His face. Our faith prepares us to be in the presence of God."
