Conference

Wasn't conference just the best??? I honestly felt like it was

Christmas haha I was so excited all week I couldn't wait. Haha then

Sunday we are sitting down watching the song and the prayer and then

right before president monson gets up to speak bam the power went out

in like all of Santee so we had to drive like 15 minutes to a members

house and don't worry we caught up on the prophets talk a little later

on but it was just so great.

This week I have really realized how blessed we are to have a living

prophet and apostles that guide us. We would be so lost without their

counsel and direction. I read some scriptures this week and talks and

have just gained so much gratitude for the leaders of the church. We

are commanded to follow the words of the prophet and keep the

commandments that he is continually receiving. As we are diligent and

faithful in following our prophet I know that Satan will have no power

over us and we will walk in all holiness before God. I know that if we

follow the prophet with exactness we will be protected from the world,

we will be filled with the spirit and we will continue progressing

along our path to eternal life.

Mosiah 15:11 says

"Behold I say unto you, that whosoever has heard the words of the

prophets.. all those who have hearkened unto their words, and believed

that the Lord would redeem his people..I say unto you, that these are

his seed, or they are the heirs of the kingdom of God."

Those that follow the words of the prophet and believe in the

redeeming power of Jesus Christ are those that will inherit the

kingdom of God. The prophet is leading the way, we are so blessed to

have someone giving us direction. It is our responsibility to listen

and to act. If the prophet knows the way to the celestial kingdom then

we should be ready and willing to respond and act in faith and

obedience. So let's take what we learned and apply it!!!

Haha this week we street contacted an old man named zee I think he's

like 80 maybe. Usually we don't find a lot of luck with the seniors

because a lot of them are already set in their ways but we stopped and

talked with Zee and shared with him a Book of Mormon and invited him

to be baptized if he knew it was true. He accepted and was like "I

think this book is going to teach me a lot" and we were like ya it is

Zee haha he ended up calling us the next day and telling us that he

already started reading and he wanted us to give him the address to

the church again! Wahoo hurray for zee.

We've talked to lots and lots and lots of people this week- some nicer

then others but my new perspective on it is that if we are just so so

nice and kind and loving with everyone we meet then it will be very

hard for anyone to argue with us. Kill them with kindness!!! I love

missionary work!! Live is good.

I love you all!!!
