What a Conference!
Tuesday-Wednesday
Tuesday was our district meeting. I was able to give a blessing to a Hermana. It was pretty cool! It’s amazing to know that we are able to receive direct help and guidance through and by our Heavenly Father. Remember nothing is too small or insignificant to have a blessing. After, we ate with our Stake President. He is organizing a game for me to play against college students. If we win, we get to teach them haha. Tuesday was a really hard day. I’m definitely trying to develop patience more and more, especially this change. This is where we can change ourselves and become leaders. We need to lead by example and always know that God and Christ are with us. D&C 84:88! Just smile and things will pass because there is good in everything.
On Wednesday, I woke up with a whole different outlook on things. My scripture study was amazing as I prayed more sincerely and found more answers in the first 16 verses of my study, than the past 2 days of studying for more than an hour. I challenge each of you to pray sincerely to our Father in Heaven and pour your soul to Him. He will answer. I testify of that! Something my mama always told me, “Do my part and God will do His.” I’ve kept that with me since day 1 all through ball and my mission! Wednesday, we did a service for Ninesha. We scraped/ripped paint off her house to get ready for new paint and then we ate a barbeque. So good! After, we taught Siva y Herrera with a member. It was awesome. I led the lesson and had the most powerful experience with the Book of Mormon. They are going to get baptized, I know it!
Thursday-Friday
Thursday was the best day! We went to Albero’s house to finish the service. I got so dirty! It looked like I went to the sand dunes with how much sand was on my face. After, we taught Andrea and her daughter about prophets. They are excited to see President Nelson. Kiana was hilarious. She didn’t understand that prophets have the power to speak/receive revelation for us from God. She kept saying, “Well I want to see God. How do I become a Prophet?” After, we changed and our Stake President is such a homie. He got those two guys from his work that love basketball and have a hoop in their backyard to let us come over and play a game with them. It was awesome! Of course we taught a lesson but it was the best thing ever! It was good to be able to shoot on a normal rim that wasn’t broken. After, they told us to come back so we can play and teach our lessons to them. Before we left, their 18 year old son asked me to give him lessons on shooting. It was a really cool feeling to be able to teach someone how to shoot and play ball in a South American country.
Friday, we finally finished service with Alvaro! It looks way good. I’m super burnt! Haha We ate pig and veggies! It was so so good. Alvaro and I had a contest who could eat more. We tied. We both couldn’t move after lol. We ate and talked to our President about our branch. It was good. I’ve also been reading in the Liahona. You guys have to read it! It’s the best. You can learn a lot.
Saturday-Sunday
General Conference! Enough said lol. The conference was absolutely amazing. Having everyone stand and sustain President Nelson was the coolest thing ever. We had so many investigators come to watch. It’s something so special to be able to be in Uruguay with members that cherish this gospel so much. I have learned so much being here. I wrote over 20 pages of notes from conference. Please write down your thoughts and feelings. Without a doubt, I sustain President Nelson with all my heart. He is the Prophet today and we have received instructions from him. This conference was a lot better because I could understand what was being said and most importantly, why people were laughing!
