Elder HJones: Conference Miracle!

So Saturday morning, the first session of General Conference, I was with three new gringo missionaries. We had to switch up a little, so the gringos could watch conference in English. We went to lunch with a member and were waiting for a collectivo (taxi) to take us to the stake center. We waited for a while. Sometimes it takes a very long time to find two seats in a collectivo and we were waiting for four!! because the new missionaries didn't know where the stake center was.

At 1:00 p.m. we were still waiting and a little late so we said a quick prayer together on the side of the road. We prayed to find a collectivo so we could go and watch the beginning of conference. Literally, ten seconds later we saw a collectivo come. A man jumped out, which opened up FOUR seats. Then, the collectivo drove past and we were able to take it. When we got to the stake center, we were just in time to participate in the solemn assembly and watch everyone and to be able to sustain President Nelson as a prophet of God.

My testimony grew a lot! That first, through prayer. We will receive help from God. And second, that God NEEDS us to sustain the prophet. He needs to know if we are willing to follow his called servants and live the words they speak.

So conference was a great experience. A lot of changes! But it is indeed what God wants and needs. I was also able to fast, and pray that my questions would be answered, and they were! Throughout the conference I found answers to my questions. My favorite talks were Elder Uchtdorf and President Nelson about personal revelation. (and of course, Elder Holland is always fire).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is church is true. I am so grateful for the opportunity  I have to warn, to help, and to save people in these last days!

We are planning on having two baptisms this week for Pia and Gian. Super excited to see them make this life-changing disicion. We also have some investigator that could use some prayers: Rocio, Marcos, and Fresia. Thanks so much!
