It´s funny how the first thought that comes to my head when I sit down to write something is to start with "it´s funny...".
Moving on.
Conference
truely was amazing. We watched the first session in Português, but then
didn´t have any more investigators attending so we slipped into another
room and watched in English which was even MORE amazing. Now, now,
don´t get me wrong... I love português, but there´s something about
hearing the gospel in your own language. That´s why we have
missionaries all over the world pulling their hair out trying to learn a
second language, so that God´s children can hear the gospel in their
own tongue. It just means more. Since conference I have been blessed
with the amazing quality of a little bit more confidence. It was a nice
little whisper in the ear of what I´m really doing here. And how I
can improve in every aspect. I´m not going to lie... Talking to a bunch
of people you don´t know everyday and that sometimes yell at you is a
littl unnerving... but since i´ve been teaching and getting to know
these people I´ve learned that they don´t really mean what they say.
Most of the time... they just... don´t know what else to say.
On another somewhat related note: it is funny how much can change
in a span of time. Or... in an instant. How a person can change and how
everything can change once you accept it. I can honestly say that I
love change. Love it. But I hate letting go. Annnd. Generally I know
what I want and how far I´m willing to go or sacrifice for it. I decided
to serve a mission in an instant because of a change of a point of
view. I´ve made mistakes over a span of time, which I still kick myself
for but have made me the missionary I am and put me on the path of the
daughter of God I want to be. There are people all over the world who
are even more lost than I have been, who are more nervous than I am, and
have less than I have (spiritually or physically). So I will serve
them. And until the Lord has called me home, I trust in him. I trust in
him to lead me, to guide me, and to walk beside me. You can´t get better than that.
If there is anyone that didn´t have the opportunity to watch
conference, open up the next tab, go to the church website, and watch
it!
Who can give us more direction in life than God? He has a lot to say. :)
