Vamooooooo mis amigos definitely a dub of a week. CAN WE TALK ABOUT GENERAL CONFERENCE. Absolute bars but we will get into that. Another fast week for ya boi
This weeks top story is about chapter 14 of preach my gospel. For those of you who dont know, there is no chapter 14, but for missionaries it can be quite helpful. Chapter 14 is when you happen to use your good looks to help convert someone haha. But me and my comp were just walking on the street and this Dad and his daughter pulled up in a car. I saw them and he was like "yo ur the missionaries" I was so pumped and the entire time I thought he wanted to get baptized and then I hear my comp start dying laughing as he invited them to church and they drove away. What I didnt know was that the dad actually came up to us because he wanted us to date his daughter because we were both good looking hahahah. Then the daughter asked if she could give us our number and we told them we would be at the church on Sunday if they wanted to chat. Haha safe to say they didnt pull up but i thought it was so funny
Oh ya also we dedicated a house this week, never done that before. The 6 elders in my área were eating Lunch with these members and it was absolutely fire. Then we asked if we could help with anything and the Mom got really emotional talking about her daughter. She said her daughter was having some super scary nights struggling to breathe and they think its an evil spirit. Apparently evil spirits really like Argentina is what my comp was telling me. But we then asked her if her house was dedicated and she said no, so one of the elders offered to. I thought it was a really cool experience, first time doing that too but probably more to come tho
As far as eating wise here safe to say im still hungry. I think my stomach has expanded for sure since getting here. But you think thats gonna stop me from coming back looking like The Rock. Nah, ive started to crank out close to 400 push ups everyday. I just do like 30 whenever im bored and it actually has been helping. I might have a big ole belly when i get back but ill have an absolutely massive chest so itll be worth it
But when i tell you this was the greatest weekend of my life it really was. General conference as a missionary was insane. Every talk was so good i actually dont know how i never watched it. Also the choirs dropped absolute bars and you know me and my comp cranked 30 push ups a song. But a really cool experience for me happened during this conference. I decided to come into each session with a question. But when I tell you every single one of my questions was answered after watching the session and taking notes it was awesome! One of my questions was "how do i know if im living faithfully?" Then Elder Stevenson dropped some bars and he said theres 4 things basically
1. Are you standing in holy places
2. Are you standing with holy people
3. Are you testifying often
4. Are you listening to the promptings of the spirit
I love that! But if you are reading those questions and are un sure about one of them, i challenge you to make the changes necessary to confidently answer those 4 questions. More joy will follow I promise
You knew I had to end with President Nelson's talk how could i not. I remember when President Erying announced the last speaker was President Nelson I would consider my happiness to that of when the "valley oop" occurred for all my AZ people. But oh my that was the best talk ive ever heard. THINK CELESTIAL. If you didnt get the chance to hear it, go to bed until the talks come out on gospel library then go watch it. So many decisions in life become easier when we have a celestial mindset. It made me realize how much of a blessing it is to be here on a mission! Sorry mom im not coming home anytime soon, the lord needs me out here forever so
My invitation this week is from Elder Phillips talk which i loved. This week I challenge you guys to kneel in prayer and ask heavenly father how he feels about you, then pause and listen. Youre heavenly Father loves you, hes proud of you, hes ready to bring you back if your struggling!
