| Birthday & Zone Conference |
We
had Stake Conference yesterday and it was pretty cool because it was a regional
conference. It was broadcast from the Conference center and Elder Richard G.
Scott spoke to us .... in Spanish! He talked about his wife in his talk, and we
all know that the best talks are the ones when he talks about his wife. What a
stellar Elder! Our bishop is a bit of a clown. So much that he has his
own website of just jokes. We are trying to look for a member in the USA who married an
investigator, but then he got deported. (BTW- I´ve met a lot of people here
that have that happen. SISTERS- make sure your boyfriend is legal before you
marry him!) Anyway, He told us yesterday that Facebook is more efficient than
the Church´s system MLS. He´s a funny guy.

(Day of the Dead, where they celebrate loved one(s) that have passed on. |
We found a few new people this week from a Ward FHE lesson that we had
and we have some members that since they found out about our new rules, they
have been trying to find new people because they don´t want the missionaries to
leave. Everyone wants to feed us food because they feel that we are angels in
their house (they give us too much credit, I tell you) and so they want us to
stay! It´s pretty cool! Honestly, I can´t remember what else happened this
week. It went by so fast.

In conference we were reminded that we should all have a valid temple
recommend even if we live far from a temple. It reminded me of the interview
questions that we have and what they mean. They aren´t just a checklist, they
are requirements to enter the House of the Lord. They are covenants that we
have made or are going to make. They are important. I haven´t gone to the
temple in Mexico, but it is still a reminder
that I need to be worthy of that passport to Christ´s house. Tithing is worth
paying to "rent" a temple recommend and to help other people on the
other side of the veil. There is a statement in Ch. 9 of Preach My Gospel that
talks about vicarious ordinances as being the SAME saving missionary work as
what 55,000+ missionaries are doing. It´s truly incredible God´s Plan. Keep
studying the scriptures and becoming your own first "convert" so that
you can be prepared to help somebody else. We´re all in this together.
… I
translated the word literally. It was basically a treatment is what I meant.
They extracted the antibodies from my urea and made the stuff. ( I am thinking for his dermatitis he has struggled with since in MX) I forgot the words to
describe it. Spanish is ruining my English.... it´s sad. I can´t talk like an EMT anymore.
Gotta
go. Tell everyone hello for me.
Love,
P.S.
Have a good week. Look for a spiritual experience.
