Wow, kinda annoyed right now cause these computers are horrible. I've had to restart it six times now, so hopefully it'll get me through now.
But anyways,
great week. Got to watch most of conference, all of it besides most of the
Saturday morning session, cause here in the mission, if you don't have four
investigators, you can't go to conference. But don't worry. We ended up getting 18
and 4 of them came multiple times. It was awesome!
(At Chicken Alfredo's house. He's an awesome kid. He came to two sessions. He, his mom, and his aunt are all getting baptized on the 24th. They are so awesome!)
This week, we
will have two more baptisms, Andy and Fernanda.
Well,
conference... I love President Monson! Funny how much I
hear everyday about the Prophet Joseph Smith. Come on people! Just accept
the fact that he was the Prophet of the Restoration. But anyways there were a
bunch of little liners that I loved from conference.
-How do we
make the Lord's ways, our ways? I believe that we begin by learning of Him and
praying for understanding. As our trust in Him grows, we open our hearts and
seek to do His will, and wait for answers to help us understand...
-When we open
ourselves to the Spirit, we learn God's way and feel His will.
-The journey
of discipleship is a course of steady improvement.
-Ask the
Lord, "What is keeping me from progressing?" Then quietly wait for a
response. If you are sincere, the answer will soon become clear. It will be
revelation intended just for you..
-None of us
marry perfection, we marry potential.
-If you want
more than you now have, reach up, not across. No one can reach up for you.
Only your faith and prayers will cause you to lift yourself and have the mighty
change of heart.
-It's never
too early and its never too late.
-No matter
how dark our doubts, we choose how long and to what extent we allow it to
influence us.
-Am I as
close to living like Christ now as I was before??
-Faith is not
by chance, but by choice.
-Your calling
isn't yours, take care of it.
-The Lord
will qualify those whom he calls
-He weeps
when we suffer and rejoices when we do what's right
-Our mothers
bore us and continue to bear with us.
-He doesn't
respond just to answer our curiosity
-KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS
Just some
things I noted down during conference that I really liked. I hope you all have
a great week and become more like Christ every day!
Mucho amor,
Elder Copeland
Many phrases can fit this picture:
-Because I
have been given much, I too must give.
-Recordad que
el valor de las almas es grande a la vista de Dios.
-True
happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give.
-For it is in
giving that we receive.
-You have not
lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
-In the
service of the Lord, it's not where you serve, but how.
"Sí, venid a Cristo, y perfeccionaos en él, y
absteneos de toda impiedad..."
