This
week was really great! First of all we had transfers and everyone that lives
with me stayed. So I guess at least one more transfer in Rio! I was super excited
stay. There are so many amazing people here. Transfers are always hard but I’m beginning
to see that leaving here will be especially hard. But we just have to work and
fight until the end and confide that these relationships and friendships we
make are eternal.
This week I got to
give a presentation in an English school for about 30 people. We taught the restoration
and got a bunch of references to pass for other missionaries. But I enjoyed
getting to practice a little more English ;)
Conference was super
amazing! I loved how the topics were not assigned but worked so well together.
In the recap we see that the topic of missionary work with members, repentance,
temples and the gospel centered home was a majority of the talks. I got to
watch the last session in English and I loved the talk given by president Oaks!
He is so firm but in such a loving way. The other highlight for me was Pres Nelson
in the priesthood session. He really hit hard that we all have a need for
repentance. I loved how he taught repentance is not an event... But rather an
eternal process required for exaltation. Another quote I loved (remember I’m
translating into English so it might not be correct) But Salvation is an
individual experience... But Exaltation is a family experience.
I hope you guys all
learned as much as I did. I love you tons and hope you all have a great week.
Now is the time to act. Now is the time to present the never ending plan of
redemption and happiness with our friends. Now is the time to prepare for the approaching
and anticipated return of our Savior. I trust you all and God trust you all! Keep
up the amazing examples! Love ya all!
