I´m super
exhausted right now haha.... one of our roommates, Hermana Burr, had
cambios today so we were all helping her pack late last night. So I´m
lacking sleeepppppppp. blaho. BUT this was an awesome week so that makes
up for it. :)
GENERAL CONFERENCE AHHHHHH. I
love it. It was super weird seeing Salt Lake City on TV though haha I
wasn´t expecting all the feelings of home to hit me so hard. Plus mom I
saw you again! haha idk if you noticed or not but they showed a picture
of you from one of your Mormon Messages in between the sessions of
conference. I was like, "that´s my mom!" and all the missionaries we
were with were like.... uhhh Hermana Cannon is hallucinating... she must
really miss her family haha. But then after my companion testified of
the truthfulness of my words, they finally believed me. XD
How
was conference for you guys? I hope you all got to see it! I think my
favorite talks were probably D. Todd Christofferson´s and Elder
Uctdorf´s. I loved that the focus was on gaining our own understanding
of the gospel and seeking our own personal confirming revelation of the
things the prophets say. I also loved the relation that Christofferson
made between freedom, gravity, and obedience. He said something like,
freedom doesn´t come from resisting the law of gravity, but instead from
understanding and applying it. WHOA. So true! The law exists and we
can´t do anything about that soooo we should just start trying to figure
it out and let that understanding help us create cool inventions. Just
like the commandments. Consequences just exist. Good and bad. So we
should just start trying to figure them out aka the gospel aka how to
gain eternal life and let that knowledge help us instead of try to
resist it. I hope that made sense haha. If not-- READ THE TALK IT´S SO
AWESOME.
I felt like Uctdorf´s talk was mas o
menos about the same thing too and I LOVED IT just as much. The take
away I got from his talk was this: the understanding we seek about life
and the gospel might not come as fast as we want, and we might not ever
come to a COMPLETE understanding before we die, but I felt like the
spirit was telling me during the talk that if we do our part in trying
to understand, we will. Or at least we won´t sit there in a rut. God
will keep opening up the truth to us if we keep asking and studying.
ESO.
Me encanta conferencia genial. :)
Other
than that it´s been a pretty crazy week! Ooooo we had an awesome lesson
last night with Rosario, the investigator who is trying to quit
smoking. We talked about the Plan of Salvation. I basically just bore my
testimony the whole time haha. Since I started my mission, the purpose
of life has gotten a lot clearer for me and I loooove talking about it.
Especially to people who have never realized what it is. After the
lesson Rosario said she felt something really special and she felt good.
I told her that was the spirit. :) I felt it too. Then she gave us
yummy oranges to take home haha. YAY FOOD.
Anyways, I hope you guys can feel my prayers. :) I´m constantly praying for you guys and you´re always in my heart.
PEACE AND LOVE.
Lots of it though.
