Chapter 14: Dad's got Dengue (and Conference!!)

Hey guys! Another awesome week out here!

We actually didn't do a lot of work this week because OUT OF NOWHERE Elder Martinez got SUPER sick and we were forced to stay at home for a day and take it really easy and rest a lot the rest of the week. My dear father and trainer got the Dengue Virus which sucks on its own but really sucks because he had to spend his 4th to last week on the mission doing almost nothing. He really struggled because he felt like he was wasting so much time.

In all, I'm really glad to have a companion that really wants to work despite challenges and obstacles. He's really been a great example to me. And even though we didn't spend a lot of time working, we still were able to do a lot with the little time we did use, so that was a blessing.

Anyway this weekend was GENERAL CONFERENCE!! It was so awesome! We listened to it all in Spanish but it doesn't matter what language because it's all the words of the Lord through his divinely appointed mouthpieces! My testimony of prophets has definitely been strengthened. I loved all the messages and would invite everyone to study them again in the months leading up to the next one in April!

Also, there's been huge emphasis placed on personal accountability, spiritual self-reliance, the family, and ministering! As a missionary, I've seen that the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings so many blessings into our lives! Read the Book of Mormon! Say your prayers! Learn to love the feeling of the Spirit and do all that you can to invite the Spirit to be with you at all times!

I know this church is the true and living Church of Jesus Christ and that we, as Saints in the Latter-Days, have the responsibility of preparing ourselves and those around us for the Second Coming of our Savior.

Love you all and choose the right!
