We taught Ani last Thursday, the 3rd lesson (The Principles and
Ordinances of the Gospel). It went very well. It was a very
spiritual lesson. She cried...that's good. Then we invited her to go
to conference with us on Saturday.
At conference, between the sessions, Ani went with some girls from
the stake to eat ice cream. It was cool, only they didn't come back!
Nor did Ani go to conference on Sunday. But we'll go to Ani's
house tomorrow to teach her some more. She's going to get baptized
next Saturday.
Conference was awesome! I love conference. It was cool when David A
Bednar said that missionaries aren't full-time seekers. They're
full-time teachers. The members are the seekers. I'm gonna get the
members on that one. But it's so true. I thought about it, and I've
only baptized 3 people on my whole mission through my own efforts.
ALL the rest were friends and family of the members.
I also liked Elder Holland's talk. Here in Brasil there are sooooo
many different religions and a lot of the time people stop us in the
street or let us in to their houses to "debate and argue" about stuff.
Many of them really think that the last verse in Revelations that
Elder Holland mentioned refers to the whole Bible. But Holland
explained, just as we explain, that Revelations was not the last book
written in the Bible. Many of the other books and epistles in the
Bible were written after Revelations. I've argued and discussed
other religions with other people sooo many times. I've got some
cool stories, too.
I think the coolest part of conference, for me, was when a blonde girl
randomly walked into the room where us Americans were watching
conference in English. At the end, we asked her where she was from
and she said that she's from Birmingham, England!!!!! She had a crazy
accent and didn't speak a word of Portuguese. She was visiting Brasil
with a Brazilian friend of hers who is studying in England. The
coolest part was when I asked her to say "Harry Potter." She said it
just like they do in the movies! Hahaha!
Have a good one!!
