Ummm... lets talk about conference!? YES! it was sooooo amazing. Soooo, like, I have my scriptures and everything, and was planning on sharing a really deep message... but the Lord has other plans for my time :) This will be simple. ) but, Conference. I know that President T. S. Monson is a prophet. I know that the Lord answers my prayers. I have experience this beauty so many times and especially this week. The only thing that I prayed for when entering this conference was to gain a greater testimony of the Prophet and Joseph Smith.... did I get it? YES! It was soooo amazing to hear allll the speakers testify of the prophet and Joseph Smith. Beautiful! The spirit was so strong in the gringo room.... or that's what we call it. hahaha, where the gringos watch conference in English. Many tears were shed and many many many many pages of inspired notes were written. If you didn't get to hear conference, I urge you to look it up on LDS.org. You wont regret it!!! Next week I will have more time to talk about it I think :)
Well.... Aaron, who is preparing for his baptism told us yesterday that he is so excited to get baptized. I just hope everything goes according to plan :) Pamela is also super happy. It was amazing because this week, her mom and dad wanted to hear us and had so many questions. Totally going to work with them. We also had the opportunity to talk to many new people and find prepared people.... during our fast to find prepared people . Amazing!!! the work is MOVING ALONG BEAUTIFULLY here in Ibarra.
Last night, we contacted this family walking past us and just jumped on it. They are the cutest family I have ever met. They are Colombian refugees and have the sweetest accents. hahaha, but they are sooo stoked to hear that message, and one of the craziest parts is that... like talking to them and looking into their eyes (sounds funny) like I totally felt like I knew them. Like it was weird, but like. idk!!!! I know that we had to be friends in the premortal life. They're exited to learn more and even get baptized one day. Life is beautiful. It really is.
Well. sorry this wasn't the best message ever, but I want to bear my testimony...and I'll do it in Spanish.
Yo sé que esta es la Iglesia de Jesucristo. Sé que ha sido restaurada por conducto de José Smith. Sé que Thomas S. Monson es el profeta, escogido por Dios, hoy en día. Sé que Dios escucha nuestras oraciones, y más que escucha... las contesta. No tengo dudas de estas cosas. Sé que el Libro de Mormon es verdadero y es la palabra de Dios. Fue reservado para estos días. Sé que Jesucristo es el único medio que tenemos para regresar a vivir con nuestro Padre Celestial de nuevo. Sé que el arrepentimiento es algo real. Es algo maravilloso. Es algo divino. Sé estas cosas no porque me dijeron, sino porque yo pregunté a Dios y Él me dió una respuesta clara, y no sólo una, sino muchas. :) Amo la vida.
I love you all and I hope you have a beautiful week. Take care of yourselves!!!
