Hey guys this week has been great! I absolutely loved
General Conference!! We actually had a few conferences this week. 2 zone
conferences, leadership conference, and the general Conference!! haha full
conferences. But i cant lie a lot of spiritual experiences!! In the
leadership conference one of the bigger points that we touched was what are we
doing as leaders to help the companionship's that are not getting along.
We showed a demonstration of a companionship teaching but not getting along.
my companion and i got to do the demonstration. My companion was
teaching and on the projector behind us it showed my thoughts. they were
thoughts about the experiences in the week that were not so
unified. For example in one picture i was cooking and my companion was
reading a cook book, in another picture i was ironing and studying Spanish at
the same time and my companion was playing with toys. but in when i
started to teach (i started off by saying what my companion wanted to say
was... showing that i really didn't trust in him) the projector showed the my
companions thoughts. me sleeping, my companion cleaning. me eating pizza
and my companion filling the area book. it was super funny... So
the point of all this is that we CANNOT just think in our heads, "oh he´ll
never learn" or "my companion is just disobedient and i´m going to be
obedient". It doesn't work like that. It always effects our teaching
always!! The holy Ghost does not reside in un holy places. Holy is
his name.
I really loved that you guys both mentioned elder Rasbands
Talk. I really enjoyed it too!! It funny because he basically gave the
same talk when he came to visit us. It was very inspired, but the cool
part is, is that he dove into the doctrine a little more with us. He
basically explained that there are a few influences that persuade us to make
decisions, whether they be good or bad. The Holy Ghost, The Light of Christ,
The Natural Man, and the Devil. Sometimes its not necessarily Satan that
is persuading us to make poor decision, or just not make good ones. It is
sometimes our natural man that is an enemy to God. And other times its
not necessarily the Holy Spirit promoting us to make decisiones, but it is good
influences that surround us.
I´ve been reading the book of Mormon lately and it was in
1st Nephi 4:12-14. The Lord dramatically tells him to slay Laban. Nephi being a
just and righteous man that truly loves righteousness and hates sin said no.
but i love how the Lord desided to place the word ´remembered´. One of the main
purposes of the Holy Ghost is to remind!! Ive literally heard words just like
the ones Nephi heard!! He was just reminded to keep the commandments!! and then
in the verses the follow he thought then he knew then he obeyed!! The questions
that we must ask ourselves now are, am I thinking (meditating) about, knowing,
and obeying the ´reminders´ that the Lord is giving me? That is what the
Lord does that is how he works. He allows us to choice whether we are
going to obey him or not.
I really love this work! Im really grateful that the lord
letts me be here! I hope the lord keeps his promise and keeps reminding
me of his commandments! Cause i got a bad memory haha. i love the gospel
and love what it has given our family and i love you guys a lot and love the
Lord!! I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet!!
Have a great week
read it as a Family
i got to go bye love you guys
