안녕하세요 여러분!!!!!:) {hello everyone}
This week has been crazy! I can't even believe that a whole week has past already! This transfer is over halfway over and i feel like i just barely got here!!! Anyways i have tons i wish i could talk about but due to time ill have to just touch on my favorite part of the week. STAKE CONFERENCE! Wow it was so amazing! Probably one of the most amazing stake conferences i have been to. I was blessed with the opportunity to get to translate for a couple of american members who attended as well, and that in and of itself was quite an amazing experience. I definitley was able to learn alot. We had Elder Whiting from the 70 come and preside and i got to meet with him and be with him and the spirit and testimony he brought truly was amazing. He was definitley called of the Lord and the Lord was with him.
Anyways something from stake conference that he said that i really liked was when he mentioned how, when Jesus was born the sign of his birth was a day and a night and a day of continuous LIGHT, and when he died the sign was three days of DARKNESS. The symbol of Christ is light, and the joy it brings. Light brings life and joy to the whole earth. I just thought it was soo cool to make that connection and to remember the result of the absence of Christ's light is darkness, confusion 등등. It is soo amazing to be a missionary and to get to watch as the light of Christ enters into the darkness of the world. Everyday as I see people make steps closer to being in the light, I find my own light inside growing and become even stronger. The Strength that comes from Christ is so amazing and i am so grateful for it. I am so grateful for the spirit and its guiding powers as well. It is amazing how much you can decern, understand, and the power that can be brought when talking with and by the spirit. Something else that i learned this week was about the difference between having the authority to doing things, and the power that comes through that authority to produce miracles. All of us recieve authority to do certain things for the lord, or even others, but unless we realize how we can use power to magnify that authority, we will only be able to accomplish things according to our personal ability. As we read in Alma Ch.17 the sons of mosiah understood this principle. They had authority to go and preach to the lamanites from the lord. But in chapter 17 we learn what they did in order to receive the power to magnify that authority. As we pray earnestly, fast, and devote our efforts to the lord. We qualify for that power. And as we excercise faith we are able to perform miracles for the lord. I know this is true personally. As we have faith and exercise that faith as a means of power we are able to accomplish so much more. To become so much more. And to be able to draw so much closer to our savior! Anyways i love you all so much and hope you can all feel the Lord's love for you as well. I am so grateful to know He is with you all, protecting you. I hope you find the strength from his light to continue on through all the trials in your life!
