Well.. all I need to say is... Amen to general conference!!!!!!!! So good!! 80,333 missionaries...but who's counting....ahhh!! so amazing!!! It's so exciting to be a part of this amazing work!!! And we are all part of it!! Every member a missionary!! Now is the time!! Did you hear that?? Oh man there were so many good talks! I just love conference!! I could go on and on about everything I loved about it but there's just no time! But I hope you all were able to watch it and listen with the spirit and hear just what you needed! Isn't it so amazing how the spirit can speak to us and tell us just what we need to hear?! I have felt so much peace and comfort and love this week! Especially watching conference! Oh man.. it's just been a good week! We have been so lucky to have had such a beautiful week full of sunshine!! It's been nice and warm all week and that's all anyone can talk about is the weather! I guess usually it can start snowing by now and so everyone is just so excited that it's still warm out! So that has definitely been a blessing!
We have a new investigator!!!!! Woohoo!!! Some elders in Auburn were teaching her and she just moved here so now we get to! Pretty sweet! So that is awesome! :) This week I have also felt the power of music! I just love music but this week especially! We were able to go and visit Brother Hersom who is in the hospital right now. He had his daughter call us because he really wanted to see us! So we went to the hospital and we talked with him and just sang hymns. Brother Hersom is so amazing! Ah! I just love him! He was laying there in his hospital bed and telling us through tears how he was going to try and make it to Book of Mormon class on Wednesday. We told him we would bring it to him. He really wants to be there and he is such an amazing example of always thinking of others. Here he is sick in the hospital and he's just worried that we're not going to have people at Book of Mormon class! sang hymns and the spirit was so strong in that little hospital room. I just know that music is so powerful and can really bring the spirit! We have been singing to lots of the people that we go and see and it really brings the spirit and makes a difference in the lesson.
I'm so grateful for the hymns that we have been given! This week I have been thinking a lot about hymn 128 "When Faith Endures" The lyrics are so perfect! "I will not doubt, I will not fear; God's love and strength are always near. His promised gift helps me to find An inner strength and peace of mind. I give the Father willingly My trust, my prayers, humility. His spirit guides; his love assures That fear departs when faith endures." I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are always there for us! I have felt their love so much this past week! I love what President Uchtdorf said, "doubt your doubts, before you doubt your faith!" I know that we all go through hard times in life but we need to always keep the faith and press forward! I am so grateful for the gospel and for this opportunity that I have to share this with others! I know that the Lord provides a way 1 Nephi 3:7!!! Even though there will be hard times He always provides a way! I hope that we can all remember that and have faith to press forward! Go and do!!!
Think about all the amazing things that were said in conference and go and do!! We are all part of this amazing work and we're all in it together! I know that we are never alone and that this is the Lord's work and it is hastening! Another good quote that I've been thinking about is "Live your life in a way so that those who know you but don't know Christ, will want to know Christ because they know you." We all need to be examples in our everyday lives! I know that Christ will strengthen us and help us and we will be so blessed as we live the gospel and share it with others! I hope you all have an amazing week!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
