Wow, general conference was incredible. I had to watch it in
Spanish, because my companion doesn't speak English, so I'll admit that
I didn't understand quite a bit, but I could just feel how powerful
those talks were. And now I can't wait for the magazine to come out! I
love general conference. It broke my heart to see President Monson so
weak, but I'm so excited for the three new apostles we have. I just
didn't want conference to end. For those of you who weren't able to see
conference, you can watch or read the talks at conference.lds.org.
Our
lovely Ramona is on fire. She went to all four sessions, plus the
Women's session the week before. She brought a friend to the Saturday
morning session, and afterwards she was saying "Wasn't that so great?
Isn't everything here so organized and nice?" She's a great little
missionary. Sunday
night, we went to her house to talk about her baptism. Before
conference, we had invited her to go to the conference with a question
in mind, and she told us that maybe she could try to know whether or not
she should get baptized November 7th, or if she should wait a little longer. So on Sunday,
we planned to talk to her about her baptism and help her understand
that she is prepared. When we arrived, she told us that she received a
lot of revelation in conference, and that one of the talks helped her
understand that she doesn't need to know everything to be baptized. She
said she's seen a lot of changes in her life and she knows that this
church is good. She shared her testimony with us and said that she knows
this church is true. So we invited her to be baptized Octuber 17th. and
she said yes. She's incredible.
The Aquino
family went to conference! I can't believe it! We've been teaching them
for over two months, and they always tell us they'll go to church, but
every week they don't show up. We considered dropping them because they
weren't progressing, but every time we go to their house, I just see the
father Marino and I know that he's going to be a great church leader
some day. So I didn't give up hope. And they came. Marino, Noris, and
Mabel. All three of them. Noris has always been the one who was least
interested, but after the conference she thanked us so much for inviting
her. They loved it. I was so happy!
Have a great week!
