What matters..............

The conference was amazing as usual. Elder Holland's talk was amazing, and well, I really loved all of them. I really feel a sense of urgency in the messages, all talking about the future and things to prepare for. I have a goal not to miss even one minute of Conference for the rest of my life, I absolutely love it!

I am so blessed to be here in Peru and I understand why I'm here. I'm really happy.

I love you all and I hope you all realize how important this work is. I'm starting to understand a little more about Jesus Christ, His sacrifice, and how much He really went through. I'm grateful He did it for me and for you. I love you all.

Today...........for one moment..............

I will know what Landon is doing, right at the exact moment. As we watch and participate in our General Conference, we will sustain the leaders of our church.

Conference Recap

"I loved conference. Once again, it was a great 10 hour experience, with great talks. I marvel at how much information and spirit and teachings they can put in to only a 10-15 minute talk. It was amazing. I loved it, and I hope you did too. I hope you got to watch alot of it. EVERY single talk was amazing and had something to help us in this life. I'm still in awe. Treasure in your mind always, the words of the prophets. I loved Elder Bednar's talk on prayer. I hope you heard it. If not, find it on internet and read it and use it."

Did you hear it ?

I could hardly wait for conference to get over, so I could post this !!

Did you listen to Elder Eduardo Gavarret, a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy? He spoke about Peru! Even though he didn't mention the Peru Lima North Mission specifically, that is exactly where the Puenta Piedra Stake is located. It was wonderful to hear about the "reactivation" efforts that are going on there. I can just picture all of our Elders listening, with smiles a MILE WIDE, can't you? And then to TOP IT OFF - Elder Nash, whom they had just met last week, and spoke with, and shook hands with - gave the closing prayer !!

I absolutely LOVED conference these past two days. It was so uplifting, and just what I needed to hear.

The Spirit of God

"I had a great 3 sessions of conference (Saturday), and loved every minute of it. The talks were amazing and the choirs too. I liked Elder Bednar’s talk on prayer also, and I liked Elder Holland’s talk on angels, and all the talks tonight at the Priesthood Session. It was good. Elder Richard G Scott had an interview with every single one of us. It was amazing."

"So, did I mention how stoked I am to watch General Conference? Well I am, and it will be in English for me too. The spirit speaks to me in English."

Different than the normal week......

"Well, me and Elder Villanueva are getting along just fine. We are working hard. This last week our (teaching) numbers kind of suffered, because Monday we had P-day and went and played futbol (soccer) with a different zone, that was great. Then we worked three days,(Tues. Wed. Thurs.) and on Friday we had our interviews with President Perez, which I absolutely loved. I learned so much, and I love that man. He is a Bishop Fisher, except in Spanish. After that, we had a special party with pizza, and watched a movie, and played futbol with the office missionaries. This was because our zone had met all of our goals, and it was great."

"Saturday and Sunday was conference, and it wasn't in our church. It was in the Stake house, which is like 20 minutes out of our zone, so it was tough to get people to attend, and for us to work with them, but I can say.... this was the first time in my life I have felt the spirit so strong. At the end of Saturday, I was spiritually drained, another first in my life. I couldn't think what it was... I was like "We haven't worked at all today, but yet this is the most tired I have been". I couldn't put my finger on it, but man... I love our prophets, and yes, a part of my Patriarchal Blessing was fulfilled this past weekend. Listen to the prophet's voice, I promise you will learn. I love you all, and all is well.......no worries."

General Conference

"I will be able to see the (General Conference) sessions live. It's not their voice, it's the translator's voice. I'm going to miss hearing their voices for 2 years, that's for sure."

We were able to stand and sustain our new prophet,Thomas S. Monson, and his counselors and apostles. It was special to me, in one aspect, because everyday, I'll think and wonder......"What is Landon doing right this minute?" - and yesterday, for a few seconds, I knew EXACTLY what he was doing, at EXACTLY that minute. When they asked the Elder's quorums (across the world) to arise, and put their hand to the square, I KNOW that he was doing that - 4500 hundred miles away - in Villa Sol Peru, RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT.
