MLC and Conference

So this week was full of spiritual experiences! Basically the two highlights of the week was general conference and MLC. 

So first MLC, mission leadership counsel, was amazing. All the zone leaders flew in for it at Barbados! Elder Kuru and I had to teach for about 2.5 hours of it! So we had done a lot of preparing. Our main objective as always is to inspire and uplift as leaders. But we also had a huge emphasis on opening your mouth! Nothing works in missionary work until you open your mouth. I loved the talk in conference by my boii, Choii! It was exactly what we taught.  MLC was just amazing President taught about Eternal Marriage and I learned a ton. It also made me kinda trunky lol :) 

During Presidents teaching he asked us a question that touched my heart. He said do you feel closer to your mom today then you did when you left on your mission? 

My heart was full of joy for I can truly say that mom I feel so close to you even though we are like thousands of miles away. As we conform our lives to the gospel and toward Jesus Christ we always will draw closer together. Because we are indeed sealed as a family for all time and eternity! 

I want to extend an invitation for any of you who read this email. This week open your mouth to just three people. And share with them a principle that you know to be true, and then invite them to act. Whether it be by giving them the website lds.org, or just getting there number and address so you can send missionaries by!  I can promise you that your mouth will be filled. You will feel God's hand in your words. And you will watch your words work wonders among these precious souls that need the gospel! 

Second Conference was amazing!! I watched it at the church with all the other missionaries!! It was so spiritual. I also thought there were some amazing talks. A few words that stuck out to me..

Dale G Renlund- "He can not save them in their sins." So we must repent. 

President Nelson- "We must Stand up, Stand out, Speak up, And be Different" 

Robert D Hales- "Brotherly Kindness is the Hallmark of all Attributes."

Gary Sabin- "We must let go of the world to hang on to Eternity"

Henry B Eyring- "The church isn't about being a perfect organization, but to build us in the process."

There was so much more that I loved!! Bless Thomas Monsons heart too, he is such a soldier.

Also this week.. 

I learned how to debone a flying fish.

My favorite thing I did this week was go to dawns house for a bbq! She is awesome! 

I ran into a garbage can so I shattered my back window. 

And I ate fish eyes!! 

Well I love you all.
