Week of October 21

So this past week was really good, with the highlight of course being the visit with Elder Bednar. but I will get to that in a second. On Monday last week, I went and bought a new suit which looks absolutely great on my newly ripped body. I will send pics next week if I can. Also I bought a new belt and some other small souvenir things taking advantage of the loca city which has a lot of things of that sort.

During the week we worked pretty hard and we were having decent success. But I'm definitely noting the help of the Lord in our work. On multiple occasions, we encountered with people that were looking for us. On Wednesday, there is always futbol (soccer) at the church, and we usually go to plan things with ward members and youth and stuff. Anyway, a man showed up who had tried committing suicide the night before, but didn't go through, and decided to go look for help form the lord. He found the right place, now we are teaching him. Then yesterday during church, a young man showed up right before Priesthood started, and wanted to know more about the Book of Mormon. We still haven't been able to teach him, but it's a start. and other situations like that are starting to happen more and more. Definitely the fruits of hard work and trying to submit to will of the Lord.

The conference with Elder Bednar was absolutely one of the most spiritually powerful events that I have experienced before. First, on Saturday morning we got up at 4 in the morning to prepare, and to travel to a city called Fernando De la Mora, which is a two hour bus ride away. Anyway, all 400 missionaries from both the north and south missions were in attendance. As soon as Elder Bednar walked in, we all stood up and you could just feel the power of the spirit that was with him. Also, Elder Arnold, the President of the South America South Area was in attendance. The conference wasn't just him talking but more of a discussion in the which we were allowed to both answer and respond to questions. it was very awesome. He basically taught about being a worthy conduit to let the spirit testify en all moments, and to let the Spirit teach and not us. As well as letting our investigators be agents, and not objects, helping them act for themselves. Very good conference.

And we finally had some investigators in church this Sunday, so hopefully they will keep progressing so they can be baptized in November.

That's about it for this week. Have a good week you guys!
