Conference!!!! (what else would it be?)

Hola a todos!

Si no han tenido la oportunidad a escuchar a la conferencia general, yo recomendaría que lo haga, fue lo máximo!!!

If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to the general conference, I would recommend that you do it, it was the best!

And if you did have the opportunity to listen, go back and review it, that's how we learn the best, reviewing. That's why we read the scriptures everyday, pray everyday and go to church each week. A review of the things that matter most in life. Also why we have conference every 6 months, to review the things we need the most today. Review in the meantime too!

I'm not going to write what all the talks were, that's your homework. ;) But a couple things that I noticed were like others have already said, prayer, that was a big focus. Make it meaningful and do it. It's talking with our Father in heaven, how awesome is that!?!? We get to talk to a God, we have the huge chance to talk the creator of the whole universe, and He tells us to talk to Him each day to remind us of His love.

Repentance, keep reading, don't let that "scary" word keep you away from one of the greatest blessings that God has given us. As was said, "repentance isn't a back up plan in case our plan to live perfectly doesn't work out," that went out as a valid plan very early in your life, sorry, but that's the case with everyone that's ever been here except for Jesus Christ. But, because there is that exception, Jesus Christ, because He was and is perfect, He could and did pay the price for our sins.  He made it possible to constantly return and become more like Him. And if we do it how He established, we'll repent daily, then as another speaker said, we'll go to the church each week to participate in the ordinance of the Sacrament, renewing all of our covenants with Him, saying that this week we'll do a little bit better, realizing that it'll take a long time, our whole life, but that it's possible through His grace, we keep falling, but as President Uchtdorf said a while back, it's not the times we fall that count, but rather the times we pick ourselves up off the ground and go forward again." It's the way of life, choose to remove the things that are making you sad (sins, and other things mentioned in another talk) and experience the JOY of the gospel! The JOY of Jesus.

There was so much more in the conference, and this week was great for us here in Sicuani, but I'll just leave you here and invite you to go and read, go and watch and/or go and listen to the voice of God's prophets today. I had the chance to listen to their voices for all but the Priesthood Session, the words are the same, but the voices add the emotion that the prophets themselves have. If you're reading this you probably speak English, take advantage of the huge ability you all have to hear the same voice of the prophet.


Hasta la próxima,

Hurrah for Israel!
