GUYS I AM SO FULL OF JOY RIGHT NOW!! WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND! NOT ONLY WAS IT EASTER AND GENERAL CONFERENCE BUT.... JADE CASH WAS BAPTIZED!! what a special day for her and for all of us!! I'm so extremely grateful for General Conference! What an amazing opportunity to listen to Prophets and Apostles called by God! The Spirit was so strong especially during this specific and special time in the last days! I will talk I about it later
This week we did not find alot of new people but we realized that we had so many lessons with progressing people that we didn't have lots of time to find! and that's okay! We had a lesson with two vietnamese people who do not really know God! They were really accepting and wanna learn more!
• Tandy! The lady we have been working with who knows the Gospel is true but doesnt want a calling because of personal stuff, has been amazing! she watches conference but before that we had a lesson and she is close I promise! We are bringing the bishop to sort out those concerns this week! Hoping to put her on date
• Randy is a man who is progressing! We have a lesson with him tomorrow! He is from Africa and is super ready and excited to learn more!
• samantha is a Roman Catholic!! Who we have talked about the bible with and it's actually not bashing at all but trying to.undertsand! She didn't agree with us until last lesson! We taught about the Plan of Salvation and she understood and has been thinking deeply about it! she is smart and I think she'll change her heart!
• Rachel on the other hand is a Baptist and is really just trying to bash with us and has been super aggressive lately in our discussions so we are gonna drop her here soon and give her time! Our last lesson is this week and we are gonna explain a little bit more from last time then testify and leave.
• Multiple lessons with members and gave them the invitation to read John 20 and watch a video then share conference with friends! and many people did :)
• Vires is a man we did service for and are going back this week to teach him
• Chris is 16 and wants to be baptized he has been taught the 1 lesson so we are gonna hopefully come up with a date this week with him!
Like I said, what a great week!! So happy! :) we have a call with president today for our zone! We watched confernce with The Garvin family for one session then went to the church and watched it with YSA and some ysa leaders! Such a fun time with missionaries and YSA!
GENERAL CONFERENCE:
SO GOOD FIRST OFF!!
Elder Uchtdorf's talk was so good! I realized during his talk he said "God is among us" 4 different times! And I felt that Heavenly Father truly was among us! He Is aware of us and loves us! I was so grateful during this General Conference to pray and ask God to allow the Holy Ghost to testify to me truths and things I need to learn more about and understand more fully! GUYS!! IT WAS TRULY INCREDIBLE!! THE SPIRIT WAS TOTALLY OVERWHELMING TO ME!! I HAVE NEVER FELT IT STRONGER! I FELT IT SURGE THROUGH MY WHOLE ENTIRE BODY!! what an amazing feeling!
I'm gonna spit off some quotes that really hit me!
• " Because He loves us, He challenges us to focus on Him, instead of the things of this mortal world" - President Oaks
What power!! We need to focus on Christ and like my subject line says! Start now to become like he is! That is one major question I had was how can I become more like he is! And wow so many great things to take away I'm excited to re read!
• I was so grateful to hear so much about the Atonement of Jesus Christ! Both the enabling power and the redeeming power!!
Elder Soares, His testimony and talk hit me with the Holy Ghost! This quote I love,
" Through Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice, we can experience a mighty change of mind and heart, bringing a fresh attitude both toward God and life in general"
• I will end with this quote cause I can go on forever! If you want to talk more about it WHICH I HOPE YOU DO , please email me this next Monday and we can share thoughts and feelings of General Conference!
" It is not so much about what we are going through in life, but what we are becoming!"
- Edward Dube!
BECOME AS HE IS!! this is my focus! I am gonna try my best to become as our Savior is! To be a finisher like he was as He went through all pains and afflictions and even death, to develop His attributes especially His Love, Charity, and Compassion for everyone! What an amazing example and role model for us! May we all follow Him and trust Him! May we Turn to Him and become closer to Him! May we become like Him! I know that as we all strive to, we will in time become more like Him! We will be able to be a better instrument in His hands, we will fulfill His Will and Hear His voice clearly! I know that these things are True and I'm so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and His Love for me and His sacrifice for me! I know that it is through Him that we can live with our loving Heavenly Father again!
I love you all!! Keep doing what youre doing and reach out to me if you need anything!!
BECOME AS HE IS!
LOVE, ELDER WOLD
