I hope that everyone enjoyed conference as much as I did. As always, by the end I felt like it had all gone by way to quickly and was left wanting more. I know though that we truly did hear the word's of the Lord this week through his servants. I am so excited to get to work and start applying all that I learned.
I can't say that I had a favorite talk. I felt like so many of them spoke to me in many different ways. I walked away with so many of my questions being answered and feeling as if the Lord was talking directly to me. I walked away from conference pondering in my heart, as a daughter of God, who it is I really want to become. Even more so I have been pondering about who it is God wants me to be. I feel like so many of the talks spoke to me about that and then also gave me the tools I need to get to work! As I am entering into my last six months of service I was also pondering a lot about what more I can do to lose myself and do the work that the Lord wants/needs done in this area. This week I will be setting goals based off of what I learned so that I can do that. I don't want to waste a minute of the time I have here, however I know that because I am human it happens all to often. Fatigue, mean people, laziness, and more are always there knocking at the door. It is hard not to succumb to them, but I loved what was said about self control and how the more we exercise it the easier it gets. I know that this is true and I am going to keep working hard to overcome those natural man tendencies so that I can become the servant the Lord needs in His vineyard.
As far as the rest of this week goes it all seems like a blur. We had the Mission Leadership Council which was great. It is amazing to me to be a part of those councils and to be able to see where it is that the Lord want's this mission to go. The spirit is always so strong there. We then took what we learned there and also had a zone training. This is one of the best zone training's I have been in. You could tell from the start that everyone had come prepared. The spirit true spoke what needed to be said to the hearts of each missionary. Saturday morning we watched conference with Carlos, our investigator and his family. We were so happy to see them together as a family listening and learning. I hope that they were able to take something from it and will see great things.
Well I love you all. I cannot believe it has been a year!
Hope you have a wonderful week!
Love,
Hermana Carpenter
