For those of you who know me well, know that I LOVE General Conference!! There is nothing to could pull me away from such an amazing opportunity to listen to the voice of the prophets and apostles. This conference was one of my most favorites. I was able to watch in English with three other American missionaries in our small clerk's office. Oh how I am grateful for the internet in which the Gospel can be shared in every language so everyone can understand perfectly and clearly about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since I am from Utah many people asked me if I had the opportunity once to go to conference live and what it was like. I am so grateful that we live to close and that we have the chance to go when we would like.
Conference and the words of the prophets always touch my heart so that I can more fully feel of the love of my Savior Jesus Christ.
My "new" companion, Elder Martinez, was my companion about eight months ago in Reynosa. We are now back together and better friends. I love working with this amazing, spiritual giant! He is from Monterrey, Nuevo Neon, a city about three hours from the mission. He loves to try and speak English and I help him when I can. When he was a little kid his parents were baptized but they are not active. He has been out for a year. Elder Martinez has three weeks more in the mission than I do and I am so glad that I can work with him again. He has a very strong personality and our teaching styles go very well together.
Here, in Valle Hermoso, the most difficult thing about teaching is having people commit to come to church. Even though they know it is right, they are unwilling to act on their faith and attend. I hope that you all will pray for the people here and will keep the missionaries in your thoughts and prayers!
I love you all and I know and testify that this church is true and everything that was said in conference is the word of God. If anyone is struggling with anything that was said, take it to God just as James directs (James 1:5-6) and just like Joseph Smith did and I promise that you will find your answer!
