Hello family and friends, this week was very special for 2 main reasons.
1.) General Conference
2.) Ceomaras Baptism!
So those are the two things that I would like to talk about a little bit today. So first conference. I LOVED general conference. Before I came on my mission i did not take very much advantage of the opportunity that we have to listen to and learn from a living day prophet and apostles. But now here I definitely appreciate it a million times more. I will share just one thought from conference with you guys today. My thought is from the talk by President Henry B Eyring and it was on gratitude. What I got from that talk was of course to be grateful. Also that we do not see things to the same extent that God sees them, but that if we look at things with a perspective of gratitude that God will be able to bless us with more happiness and a brighter more profound understanding. That increased understanding and happiness will then lead us to see the blessings of gratitude and have more joy and live better more blessed Christlike lives.
And of course Ceomara. She is so great! She was baptized yesterday in between the conference sessions. She had a wonderful experience and felt the spirit a lot. SO she watched her first GC session before she was baptized, after we did her baptism, then she watched her 2nd GC session. super cool!!! I had the opportunity as well to perform her baptism. She is so amazing and I am so happy for her.
But anyways this week was really special and its super cool to be a missionary. I love you all, hope you have a great week!
