Steven had asked us to send him a copy of his Patriarchal Blessing.
Thank you very much for the blessing, I really needed that. I thought it would be important to have because the Lord does a lot of work on people in the mission. He has a way of making us better people and I want to take advantage of that, so that when I leave the mission, I leave nice and shiny polished.
The other day I was telling my companion about the goals I have for after the mission. I told him I want to be that one member that the missionaries just love, because he helps them so much. There is a word here in Guatemala, "pilas" I'm pretty sure it translates to batteries, but here, someone that is really pilas, is someone who is really energized, and enthusiastic to get the work done (I'm surprised I remember that much English). Hey, let's make it a game. When I get back, we can see who of all of us gives the most referrals to the missionaries! Wouldn´t that be so much fun?
I did understand almost everything in that conference when I concentrated really hard, but I had to concentrate super hard, and I the last session I got tired of concentrating. But yeah, I felt the same way. I thought it was really cool that basically, everyone testified that president Nelson really is called of God to be his mouthpiece. And then he announced a few changes, and during all of that, the Spirit testified to me that the Lord is directing His work. Especially when he restructuring the priesthood quorums in the priesthood session, I felt very strongly that he is called of God the be the prophet, and that what he said, he said with authority.
Well, I love you all, keep being awesome!
