General Conference Slapped!

This was quite the spiritual peak for me in the mission. General Conference was more exciting than watching the superbowl and I learned sooo much! Idk how it was for you guys back at home, but listening to conference in the field slaps differently. I wrote down a butt load of notes but I forgot them at home, so sorry I won’t be able to state a lot of the things that I liked. If I were to state one of the things which stood out most to me, it was when they kept saying to prepare and secure yourselves – especially in the women's session. Gosh, why does the prophet have to drop all the knowledge during the girl stuff instead of telling everybody. Y’all don’t know how happy I was after President Nelson's talk on preparedness because I know that the Durante, Krispin, and Hunter clans have food storages and enough guns to arm our armada of a family!  But besides conference, I still had quite a good week and am proud to say that I have the opportunity to be teaching such an awesome gal. Her name is Gabby and she is the BOMB! She played volleyball in high school, so I am going to have to show her what real volleyball looks like when she comes to play with us this Wednesday! We had a lesson with her this past Sunday after conference and she said "when are we going to do this again?!" And I was shocked because I've never had someone so excited and golden. Transfers are next week so everybody place your bets. Will I bop out of here? Stay? Train? These are interesting times and I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for me. Like President Nelson said, "The Lord is gathering those who are willing to let God prevail in their lives. The Lord is gathering those who will CHOOSE to let God be the most important influence in their lives. For centuries, prophets have foretold this gathering, and it is happening right now! As an essential prelude to the Second Coming of the Lord, it is the most important work in the world!" Let me emphasize the part where he said the gathering of Israel is the most important work in the world. Wow! I think he said that a few years ago too, but it didn’t slap me as hard in the face as it did yesterday. The work truly is going forward and I am glad to say I am a part of it. And let me tell ya....I ain’t about to stop this grind any time soon, in or out of the field. Love yall!
