This week was a pretty normal week! Nothing too crazy happened other than General Conference. It was awesome! President Ferrin had pizza for all of us missionaries for between sessions! He loves us! It was so good! Also worked great since we didn't bring any food with us!
I really enjoyed this conference! There were lots of great quotes and things talked about! I enjoyed the statement "Just hang in there is not a principle of the gospel!" I loved Elder Hollands talk as well about the arms of our brother who saved us from our certain death! Our life has so much more to it than us just living than dying. Christ is our savior and through is atoning sacrifice we can live beyond the bands of a physical death! We can return to live with our Heavenly Father is we live the gospel! But just like President Uchtdorf said, "we don't buy our salvation with good works." It helps us along the path, but we can't just buy our salvation. The first law of heaven is obedience. We are obedient to the commandments because our Heavenly Father told us we need to be, and by doing so we show our love and faith for all that he hath given is! Conference is so amazing! I find myself losing focus about mid-way through the Sunday afternoon session, but it's all good! There's so much information packed into 10 hours of conference it's amazing! I hope one of these next conferences we have a Filipino speak in their native language! That would make it awesome! haha
Well we have dinner appointments scheduled for every night this week since Elder Alfeche goes home on Saturday, so that's awesome! We also have dinner with President Ferrin on Wednesday! So that's sweet! Elder Pack is going to be my companion for Saturday and Sunday, so that's going to be sweet. For those of you who don't remember, and for those that do, he was my companion in the MTC! Going to be good time!
Love you all have a great week! :)
