Rockin' Conference

Wed Mar 10, 2010

This last week, ok yesterday and monday, we had this rockin conference in the mission home for my zone and one other zone. Not only exists the fact that I slept in a home with A/C, on a comfortable bed, and a Real shower, one where I can choose the temperature, It was the most fun and spiritual thing I´ve done. We played so many games-one was where ´temptors´ were supposed to persuade us to play games and of course i went to play futbol, while the good people were supposed to do this almost hidden obstacle course to get to the celestial kingdom. Anyway we got kicked off the field and so I went to the obstacle course with my comp just to see what was going on and Elder Hildreth asked why we came over, I said it was because they wouldn´t let us play soccer, and he was like oh uh, our satan isn´t very good then. Its alright I said, I didnt really want to come over here, so I guess I just was compelled to be humble. so we made it to the CK but then before lunch instead of helping i played volleyball instead, whoops, and my comp and i got bumped down to the Terrestrial kingdom, which meant we didnt get to eat inside with the AC. I found that the Terrestrial kingdom is actaully pretty fun. haha jk.

Also we had olympics and Sister Redfern, who was also there and I make a pretty competitive team. We totally whomped these elderes in basketball, and then in volleyball tambien. it was so fun!!

We also watched the movie Hoosiers and it is so good. I had never seen it before. we looked for things in the movie to help us with missionary work and our lives spiritually and it was really neat to see how many things compare. We also had a testimony meeting which was very powerful and we watched equipo de aguilas, about the superbowl chicago bears team and it helped learn mejor como podemos trabajar en en equipo en la mision para ayudar los demas realizar su sueno, llegar al reino celestial.

We had a who knows their comp best game, and my comp and I totally won. It was cool especially since we beat this other companionship that has been together for four transfers. I love my comp so much. She is so great. I also love my zone and my district like I never thought. It is really cool to see normal people stretch themselves to become powerful servants of the Lord. I love this church so much. I love la obra misional so much. Even though i am so inadequate to be out here doing this work. It really is a scary burden sometimes to think about what it all comes down to- that I am dealing with people´s salvation. I guess I just need to learn more to rely on the Lord and trust in His poder y habilidades.

I love you all. Let´s always think about what we want for the eternities, and how little are the things we want now, in comparison. Let´s work to change our wants, so that our desires are always in agreement with the Lord´s. Let´s think about sacrifice and how much we truly owe our Savior. I know this is the true and Living church. Because Our Savior lives, and we have a living prophet to tell us His will.
