This week has been super awesome. It started out with one of our investigators that we`ve been working with for a long time accepting a baptismal date, and it ended with french toast and nutella, the women`s conference, and a baptism! So yeah, it`s been a pretty great week.
Last october, I had to watch General Conference in spanish, and it was not a very fun experience. I didn`t understand a single thing that they were saying, and it was incredibly frustrating that a Prophet of God was speaking, and I couldn`t understand what he was saying. So I haven`t been to excited for the upcoming conference, which I know isn`t a good attitude to have, but that`s how I felt. So anyway, we went to the women`s conference, and it was absolutely wonderful! It was so beautiful and amazing and it wasn`t just because I could understand what they were saying. I really hope if you didn`t get the chance to see it, you can look it up on www.lds.org. It was absolutely inspired, as are all the conferences that we have in the church. So, with that experience I`m so super excited to see general conference.
If you had the chance to talk with Moses, what would you want to know? Moses talked with God, he recieved direct revelation from Him to know the will of God for His people. Well, it`s no different today. We have a living prophet of God that gives us direction and counsel from God. A prophet receives revelation from God. When God wants us to know something or give us counsel specifically for our day and times in which we live, He speaks to His prophet, just like in ancient times. At general conference, we have the chance to listen to the voice of a prophet of God, and 12 disciples of Jesus Christ. I know that when they speak, God is speaking. Who else in the whole world can say that they have this privledge? I urge you to do all you can to attend all 4 (5 for men) of the conference sessions. I know that God speaks to us through His prophets, and if you go in a spirit of humility and faith, God will give you the counsels that you need and answer questions that you have. God will speak to you through the voice of His servants, as He always has done when His gospel has been on the earth. General Conference is so important! Please don`t forget that :)
If you want to know if Thomas S. Monson really is a prophet, ask God through prayer, and then watch a session of conference. The Holy Ghost will touch your heart, and testify that these things are true. You can`t know if something is true or not if you never ask the source of all truth and try it out for yourself.
Well, I hope you all have a great week and enjoy watching general conference in your native tongue :) I love you all so much!
Love,
