May 23, 2011

Man, super disappointed that i missed McKenzie and Marc´s big day.  I'm expecting lots and lots of pictures.  i miss having all the family coming over and hanging out.  but still the work goes on here in Satélite.   We had an alright week as far as the numbers go, but the highlight was that we went to a mission conference over in Mexico and elder de hoyos from the 70 and Elder Cook from the 12 were there.  it was awesome to shake elder Cooks hand and be that close to him.  as soon as he entered the room, you could just feel the spirit hit you like a brick wall.  it was interesting to see the difference in conferences.  when i was in Vegas elder pierce from the 70 came and we laid down the hammer on us.  and the conference took all day because he was just laying it on thick.  i guess it was cause that mission needed it.  but this confereace3 that we just barely had was more like a your doing what your suppose to be doing kind of deal.   he asked us if we had questions, and talked for a little bit and then it was over.  it was only 2 hours, which felt like 15 mins.  i felt like it was god telling president Nancollas that he is doing a good job with the mission.  I'm going to miss president so much when he leaves in June.  i feel so blessed to be in a mission with a superb mission president, ill have to tell you stories later of pres. Nancollas. 

 

Elder Cook left us a blessing, and i felt like it was directed at our family directly.  i tried to write it down as best as i can remember.   He told us that he knows right now that there are a lot of things happening with our families back home.  He said I want to leave my blessing on you all, that you are in the exact spot that god wants you to be.  And that if you serve with everything you've got god will bless your family with every thing that they need.  you need not worry about them because they are receiving more blessing than you or they know.  you cant see it now, but there will be a time in your life where you will see the blessings your family has received from you services.   Mas or menos is what he said.  i don't tell you that to make you thank me, but because i want you to know that all is well.  I love you all and hope all is going well after the monumental weekend.  cognates McKenzie and Marc. 

 

Quidate mucho
