Hola! General Conference was awesome! We watched it in our Zone Leaders area and went door knocking in between sessions. I felt that they talked about families a lot! While watching I felt so grateful for the wonderful family that I have, that they are great examples and raised me to be the man I am today. Another cool thing, I've learned that sometimes we receive inspiration on something we need to do that may not necessarily be spoken in the talk.
The weirdest thing about General Conference was watching TV. To go from watching no TV, to watching 6 hours in a day! It was a little weird to say the least.
Here are some quotes I liked from conference...
Its far better to follow the Creator than the crowd.
Don't fear, just live right.
Jesus Christ is perfectly positioned to lift us and give us strength we only have to ask.
The past is to be learned from, not lived in, faith is always pointing toward the future.
The Holy Spirit helps guide us by seeing the things we cannot.
We may need to let go of the world, to hang onto heaven.
God is determined to make us more than we thought we could be.
I liked when they talked about the young man who came to the Savior and asked what we had to do to receive salvation. ( Mark 10:17–30)
First, he said follow the commandments but then he said sell all your things and follow me and the man couldn't do it. As I was pondering this story, I realized that to be better disciples of Christ, we all have something that we have to give up. Maybe we don't have to sell all we have but we all have something in our lives we could give up to become better disciples of Christ.
Funny experience:
During conference, I was sitting in the front row and this 2 year old kid runs up and stands next to the wall. Then his 4 year old brother walks up next to him then takes 10 steps back and just chucks his toy car as hard as he could at his brother. It was more shocking then funny, but it made me chuckle.
On Monday, we had our Zone Olympics for P-Day. One game you had to run 3 circles around a bottle of soda then drink as much as you can; but once you take your mouth off the bottle you have to run back and someone else goes. I went 4th and drank almost the whole bottle for the win. Afterward, I was literally throwing up for the next 40 minutes, but we still got the win. We also had a big water balloon fight it was a good time.
- Do you still have the same companion? Yes but we have changes this week so maybe not well see.
- Is the weather hot? Yeah, I mean I feel acclimated to it, but basically you just sweat the whole time...even in the shower. ha ha.
