Wow! Another good week! Haha conference was SICK! (ill talk about that more in a sec) and also october wooo!!! Birthday this week! My last bday in the mission is on wednesday and im officially an old man lol 20. thats crazy but im excited!
But hey im glad to hear you all had a nice conference weekend!!! It was a great conference i REALLY enjoyed it and im pumped about the new apostoles and i got some answers. I really really liked the priesthood session. I loved Elder Andersen´s talk about faith and how he said that the same million questions or doubts have been presented by the church and that none of this is new. This is what we should expect as being members of the true church but this is why its so important to have a testimony. Uchtdorf beasted it up as usual and i loved what he said about how there is faith or doubt. The two cant be together and one will the dispell the other. But only one truly brings happiness and peace therefore CHOOSE FAITH. I loved all of them honestly like Neil Marriott who had the country accent and said itll all work out. I felt really bad for Monson too :/ but hes a tank and a champion and he did awesome in the priesthood session.
Anyways after the baptisms last week we were kind of like...uhhh now what haha so right now we are doing follow up lessons with our converts to prepare them for the temple and what not but we actually have another baptism this week believe it or not! Its a kid of a less active family! hes 11 but he hasnt wanted to get baptized for a while and we went to his house this week and talked about baptism and it was super powerful and he wants too now and said he wants to get baptized the 10th!! so wooo!!! another one!!! hahahhaa
but anyways the experience of the weeek was with the Bolivar family. I have mentioned them. Its the christian family that didnt want to accept the book of mormon but now they are on fire and reading and we have a member who accompanys us and he gave them a triple combination and the book of Truth Restored so they could read and we taught alot this week of the Restoration and the priesthood so they could understand they there is a true church on the earth cause its REALLY hard for christians to grasp it. but we have been telling htem little by little (side note it is such a blessing to have all the standard works cause they give us such a wide understading of topics and things that other churchs straight up dont even know such as ...the priesthood haha kind of important) but we taught it and we gave the Rosy (the older lady) a blessing for her bad knees and after the blessing the whole room was in tears and i swear the spirit was tangible and then i was thinking oh man we are missionaries of the Lords true church. it was sick and rosy and her husband jose and her daughter Ruth and her husband Misael went to the conference this weekend and they loved it. We are going to try to put a baptismal date soon! Guys i sincerely testify that this church was restored through Joseph Smith. DONT DOUBT!
anyways to answer some of your questions.... we dont get very many referrals... its mainly because our area is so small...so we dont get much we mostly contact in the street or knock doors and use books of mormon or liahonas or cards or wahtever haha..as for the cotton pants... i would say no because we sweat alot here haha.. we visit other companionships in our zone a few times a cycle and we have another zone meeting next monday. and yea i play pianoalot and i have improved alot in the mission! At least i think haha
and yea dad keep it up in the book of mormon!!! thats awesome i lvoe the scriptures i finished the book of mormon again last week and just started it again and im also reading the new testament and im rereading A Marvelous Work and A Wonder! Thanks for that book! haha
anyways here are a couple scrips i found this week that i loved and treasure the words of the prophtets!!! Love you all"!!! TEAM MEDERIOS FTW!!! Hard in the páint!!!!
1 Cor 1
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world toconfound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
D&C 35
13 Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thresh thenations by the power of my Spirit;
14 And their arm shall be my arm, and I will be theirshield and their buckler; and I will gird up their loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by the fire of mine indignation will I preserve them.
Elder Joshua Chad Medeiros
