Week 61 CONFERENCE!!!!!

Holy cow what a week! Its so hard to begin emails because I never know where to begin. Being ADD doesn't help either lol!

Well first lets start with conference!

I never have had a more impactful conference in my life. I was touched in so many ways! so many wonderful talks I could go off on all of them! I came into conference with a couple of questions

1.) Can the church just speak on our certain views and views on the family

2.) How can we increase the work of salvation more effectively in our time

3.) Can somebody lift and inspire members to play a more prominent and active role in regards to missionary work.

4.) Inspire me concerning the Book of Mormon and reiterate President Monson's talk. How can I gain a stronger testimony of the book of Mormon?

Literally in the first session almost all my questions were answered! I wrote these down 4 days before conference! How inspired are our apostles and Prophets! They speak from the voice of the Lord! I couldn't believe it could answer all my questions and it did! I loved conference! So many things highlighted my patriarchal blessing. Especially when it says I will be called on my testimony in moments where I need to proclaim the truth and stand boldly before organizations and criticizing groups! I know its going to be important for me and my future to have an unshaken testimony of the book of Mormon and its prominent role in my life! Just know this the book of Mormon you could say is literally my best friend! I never appreciated or thought that a little book could give me so much power and inspiration in my life especially in regards to my missionary service and ministry! Why was I so blind to not see this before! I wish I made the book of Mormon study apart of my life more before I served a mission. but it doesn't matter now because I do have a strong testimony of the Book! I have been reading it everyday and seeing

how much it contributes to my life! 

Last night president gave us a call and says to meet him at the church building to unlock it for him. Turns out he was interviewing some troubled sisters in my zone. we got there and he said just come in I want to talk to both of you after! We were there until 11:24 HAHAHAHA never have been out that late but it was for a good purpose. I have been so glad that I have been called to be a zone leader not for a title or for praise I literally don't care about any of that never have and never will. But the opportunity to truly minister and serve the missionaries around me is so awesome. I have had so many inspired moments and so many times where I have been able to sit down one on one with missionaries and help them through whatever trials they are going through. Last transfer I have prevented a missionary from going home and just lifted that kid up! He is now training and I'm sure blessing the lives of those God has intended him to see and teach! I have been able to help struggling sisters and council with president on ways we can help them. I have been in the lives of everyone around me and I have truly have forgotten about my cares worries and fears.  "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it." -Mark 8:35 I have come to understand this scripture a lot as being a zone leader. President interviewed me last night late and talked to me about the interviews he had with the sisters. He told me everything and it is some pretty private and personal stuff so I can be aware and offer myself to the struggling sister. President is literally my best friend! We laugh we cry and we share and grow together and is such a blessing in my life that I can count on him and more importantly that he can count on me to really assist with things that cause him less worry and stress. Me and him are very close. I have two heroes now and they are dad and him. I'm grateful for the powerful priesthood leaders in my life and their examples to me! 

 Love you guys so much I miss you like crazy! I wish you could be out here and see the things that I have been accomplishing.   I have grown so much it is amazing! The Lord is so real and Ether 12:27 is true haha,

"27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

  Because I was so shy when I came out and now I'm pretty outgoing. good stuff!

Alright well that was shorter than I thought. Love each of you!  Have an awesome week.
