How are you all doing?? Can you believe that it's already October?! I hope that this last week has treated you well and that this next week is even better! As for me, it was a crazy week. We travelled a ton, even going to Potosí for our Zone Conference and it was an amazing experience. President Montoya talked about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and it was truly amazing :) After returning to our area, the week finished well and I am happy to report that Nicole was baptized this past Saturday. She truly is an amazing girl and I cannot express how happy I am for her :) I'll be sure to keep you updated on how she's doing in the weeks to come :)
Now, let's talk about some other amazing people that we are visiting :) I would like to focus on Marcela, Teresa, and Gregorio. Marcela was a reference from a recently returned missionary and she is amazing. She says that she has gone to many churches and loves reading their pamphlets and other things they give her, but she has started to lose faith in their being a "true church". We loved the opportunity to talk with her and she had many amazing questions. She is very well studied in the Bible. We look forward to seeing how things turn out as we work with Marcela :) Teresa and Gregorio are a lovely couple that we met as we looked for their son, who is a less-active member. We actually found Teresa first, and as we talked with her, she shared that she thought her husband would not be interested in our message. This last week, we met Gregorio for the first time and had the opportunity to teach about the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. Much to the shock of Teresa, Gregorio was very interested and asked many good questions. We look forward to continuing the work with these two amazing people and trying to help them accept this amazing gospel :)
Well, now that I have talked about our work here this week, I want to talk about General Conference. I know that not all of the people on this email list is a member of the Church, so I want to explain real quick. We believe that prophets (Such as Moses, Noah, Abraham, etc.) are not just people that exhisted in ancient times. We believe that we have a living Prophet and Apostles that really do communicate with God and receive revelation for our times. This coming weekend, we will have a General Conference where these men will speak with the whole Church giving us counsel about how to live our lives. Now that I have explained, I want to ask a question: If you heard that Moses (supposing that he were on the Earth today) was coming to give a talk to the world and you had the chance to listen, how excited would you be? How would you prepare yourself to receive what he would say? Well, the amazing question is that this applies. God's chosen representative, President Russell M. Nelson, and the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ will be talking to the world this weekend. We should be excited! We should prepare ourselves! You better believe that I will be preparing myself spiritually for this experience and I invite you all to do the same. Now, for those of you that are not members, I invite you to take a challenge of mine. I promise that this is the true church. Don't believe me? Well, I promise that if you go into this weekend really wanting to know if this church is true or not, you will know without a doubt if you watch every session. That's a promise for you all.
Well, I hope that you all enjoy General Conference! I love you all and hope that you have an amazing week!
