La semana (10.3.11)

We just got finished playing some soccer with the zone so Im pretty worn out. Conference was awesome! We went to the stake center in Chillan to watch it with other missionaries. Conference really is the closest to vacation a missionary gets! They set a room for us aside for english so I was able to watch a few sessions in English. We were expecting five investigators, but only one came in the end. That was a little bit of a bummer but I just have to keep thinking of next Sunday!

This conference I really tried to write down what the Spirit whispered to me instead of just notes of what the speakers said. I really felt like I recieved a lot of personal revelation. In a few talks, it was repeated that when we repent, the Lord remembers our sin no more. That really impacted me, especially when President Packer said it. I started thinking about that and the significance of it and figured that if he remembers it no more, we should try to do the same. It is not necessary to talk about past sins and especially the sins of others or to bring them up. I guess I started thinking about that a little bit because there are tons of people who feel so comfortable around the missionaries that they confess to us all our sins! I now try to catch them before they do and talk about repentence.

Our investigators are doing good, but like I said, they didnt go to church so we are going to have to be firm with them. The young couple that are amazing named Mauricio and Gissel, didnt come and were committed as well as two others. We arent getting down because it was just one Sunday but it was an amazing opportunity to listen to the Prophet.

I love yall! Chao!
