General Conference is such an amazing opportunity to have.
While inviting people to come to general conference I would say things like,
"if you had the opportunity to listen to Moses speak and reveal the ten
commandments would you want to go?" and they would always say of course!
Conference is a time to hear what we need as a church and individuals at this
time. Some of my favorite talks were
Elder D. Todd Christofferson's about Zion who said "Christ is the seed of
the Ultimate Hope" and Elder Ronald
A Rasband who spoke about being spiritually prepared. We should be so
spiritually prepared that we surprise satan with how prepared we are. That all
starts in the home. I learned a lot in my home and I had a great opportunity to
have parents and step-parents who were strong in their testimonies even during
hard trials. They taught me of the gospel and they showed how to in their
actions. I am eternally grateful for the home I grew up in and the friends,
young women’s leaders, and members who have all helped me grow my testimony and
strengthen my commitment to stay close to the gospel. As we strengthen our
homes we strengthen our spirits and become closer to Christ. With spiritual
strength we can go forth with confidence with the Lord by our side to declare
the gospel without fear. Continue to strengthen others during this time of
spiritual war. Start in your home and INVITE all to come and hear of the
Goodness of Christ and his Gospel.
Why is Christ called Alpha and Omega? This has been one of
my questions and if anyone has some answers that would be great. I Learned that
he is called Alpha because he was the first. The first to rise from the dead.
The first born of God. The first and same which looked upon the wide expanse of
Eternity and all the seraphic hosts of heaven before the world was made. And he
is Omega because according to the bible dictionary he is our end Goal. Christ
is the beginning of our change and Christ is the final goal of all creations.
We finished our English fast this week and celebrated with
some high quality smoothies! The Guayama Llamas are doing well with our Spanish
and well with our frozen treats!
We visited our dear loved Martita who is an amazing member
missionary who is leaving this week to go serve in the DR Temple! We made her
tacos and salsa as a goodbye!
