So this week was pretty much lost... We had 7 lessons on
Tuesday, and then I woke up sick on Wednesday morning and was still sick pretty
much until yesterday. So we didn't work for the rest of the week due to me and
conference. But conference was really good! So many changes! So who from back
home is planning on going on a mission sooner now that the age requirement
changed? And Lainey, you better get yourself ready! You're going to one year of
school with me at BYU-I and then you're going on a mission! Woooo!
Conference was reallly good this time. I loved all of it! I
don't even know where to start... One of the scriptures that they cited a lot
was Isaiah 40:31, which I actually have memorized in Portuguese. It's a really
good scripture that promises strength to those that put their trust in the
Lord. Really, that's all we have to do in this life. Trust in the Lord, do our
part, and know that everything will turn out alright. And while our part may
not be too easy, it's still made very possible by the help of the Lord. As it
says in 1 Nephi 3:7, the Lord never gives us commandments without preparing a
way that they can be fulfilled. Many time in the Book of Mormon it says that
those who keep the commandments of God will prosper on the Earth. So we need to
fulfill the commandments of God so that he can bless us! He loves us and wants
to give us everything we stand in need of. We just have to be willing to accept
his help and ask!
I forgot my conference notes at home so I kind of forgot the
other things I wanted to say... But go read the talks as soon as they get up on
lds.org! It's worth it! They were all super good.
Especially Elder Utchdorf's talk on Saturday morning. That one was suuuper
good. And Elder Holland's talk, too. Go read and educate yourselves! It's good
for you!
Anyways, that's all for this week. Hopefully we'll have a
couple of baptisms here pretty soon! We have one marked for this week - we'll
see if it goes through!
I love you all! Have a fantastic week!
