The week (September 10)

Mon., 9/10/2018

It's been a good week. I don't have much time but here are the highlights!

1 Last P-day we hiked up a big hill and the rock on top of it in Aregua. The hill is named Cerro Koi.

2 We had Zone Conference on Thursday and as usual it was great; we learned a lot about the Plan of Salvation.

3 We attended Stake Conference and there were 10 speakers! It was my first Stake Conference in my mission! The talks were great, with 2 things I got most out of it:
- We can always just do our calling, or we can do our calling and do MORE Always ask yourselves, CAN I DO MORE?
- Sometimes, kids give us the example... some of them are more reverent than us in church! We shouldn't take every excuse to get up during church! The speakers and teachers have prepared a lot for us!

4 Elder Cook held a world-wide Young Adult Devotional and we were invited to watch! A lot about the Restoration and early church!

5 I got to have an interview with Pte Evans today. He is inspired of God!

Listen, I just have a quick testimony. I know that Jesus Christ is divine and lives. I know that just like Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist, and all them, Joseph Smith was and Russell M. Nelson is today a prophet of God. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, as is the Bible (when translated correctly). I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is literally the Church of Jesus Christ, and nobody can, has or ever will prove that wrong. What does that mean? Well it looks like a path to me. If you're on it, good. If you're not on it, come on over, because we all need to be on that path. Have a good week, I love you all.
