Lleida week 8 - CONFERENCE

Sorry Ally-cone i dont have time this week to add everyone into my
contacts and send it to everyone in the fam... so could this get sent
to everyone again? I´ll try to make a group of our family next week.
I asked Elder Pericle if he knew you and it hit him like a train.
Haha it was pretty funny when he made the connection. But yeah he
remembers now that he met you at BYU in the leadership thing? Somehow
he knows you. Pretty crazy small world in the church!!
I was so pleased to hear the cougs pulled out a win against the
aggies! How´s their record this year? are they pretty trashy like
last year?
General Conference. Thats about all i need to say in this letter.
Another temple in PROVO i cant wait! All of it was SOOOO good. But
pretty ridiculous too... We were only able to watch saturday morning,
priesthood, and sunday morning sessions because of the time difference
here and the satellite at our church was going crazy and the
connection kept going out while we were watching. It was pretty
frustrating having a ton of our investigators show up and then have
the tv be going in and out of the sessions. I just kept praying and
praying that the investigators would still feel the Spirit and hear
the words of God. Everyone that came still loved it by the end and
felt the Spirit. Every single question I had was answered
specifically, even though we didnt see like even half of the whole
conference. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father hears my prayers
and that we have inspired leaders of the church who are called of God
and receive revelation from Him. But yeah so i wasnt able to hear
Elder Waddell´s talk in priesthood because the connection went out
during his talk. We´re going to try to get a copy of the whole
conference from our Bishop though and watch it on a preparation day.
Holy mom 26 loafs of banana bread!! and 80 baked potatoes?! Martha
Stewart herself. That has to be some kind of record. Im glad there
was a good turnout and that the Trupp´s were able to be there and for
conference too. And yes i have the bank card that you sent me in the
mail. Only problem is i dont know what to do with it... do you want
me to call the international number on the card and activate it or is
it already activated?
Anyways Maria is doing so good right now. She ALWAYS reads the
chapters we leave her and not only that she writes down like 5 pages
of notes for each chapter. Whenever we go to visit her we ask her to
read to us what she learned from the scriptures and she understands
everything perfectly. We pretty much dont even teach her because she
just teaches us what she learned. It´s amazing. She has come to
church 2 times and is going strong for her baptism this weekend.
Everything is still the best here in Lleida. Its just "wonderful" as
our African brothas would say. Me and Elder Pericle are doing great
and we´re starting to see a lot of success with families. That´s
something we´re going for this transfer is to get families in the
waters. Love you tons

My ELDERESSSS
CONFERENCE. It blew my mind. Tell me what answers you received. I
know im pretty ready to have at least 15 daughters. A quote that
pretty much punched me to the face was from President Eyring I think
in the priesthood session. He said something like "Dont think about
how unqualified you are, think about what, with the Lord´s help, you
can become." I love conference. And me and my comp promised
ourselves that we would never EVER take a session of conference for
granted. Because it was pretty narly here in Spain with the afternoon
sessions of conference starting at 10 at night. So we missed a ton of
it. Another thing i wanted to talk about is from something that my
Pres taught us in our last zone conf. He said make sure your
investigators understand the importance of enduring to the endOWMENT.
It works in spanish too... perseverar hasta el fINVESTIDURA. Thats
what its all about my elderes. Point our investigators to the temple.
Love you all like i love my african brothas.
