Another really cool thing happened this week while trying a referral. We were fixin to put our bikes up when a man called to us and asked if we wanted some water. We never turn down water. We went into his house and started asking him questions to get conversation going. We found out he is from Brazile and is trying to learn English. We were chatting for a while and then his wife came down to chat with us too. We found out that they are moving to Utah in 2 months! We taught them the first lesson and they both said they would be baptized! It was like God was giving us a referral. They even were ok with changing the way they normally pray (Usually it is hard to teach people the correct way to pray)! We hope to continue chatting with them so they can be baptized before they move.
One last thing before I get into my general conference sh-peel, I have been hanging out with the AP's a lot lately and have learned some interesting things. They are very wise missionaries and also a lot cooler then I thought! We played this game video called Wet Head and they give us rides everywhere. I think the Lord has sent me here to not worry so much what my peers think of me. We are all called to the same calling so we are all equal in that. Also, we are going on a diet and planning to get to 19bs! I haven't been there since like 10th grade.
General conference was the most spiritual conference I have ever seen! I learned a ton! I will be doing more of the things I learned in later emails but I want to discuss what I learned about families. There was multiple talks on getting the families to do the basics. One of the commandments that I picked out this conference is that we need to read the Book of Mormon everyday. That includes reading it with our families. If we can get up and read for 10 minutes, our lives will be so blessed! I have been reading in the Book of Mormon everyday and can tell you that it had brought peace, comfort, and revelation to me. I apply Moroni's promise in Moroni 10:3-5 to gain a even greater testimony of the Book of Mormon. You can too! I know that as we read the Book of Mormon with our families that it will bring unity in the home. It will bring happiness and it will bring spiritual growth which leads to change. The gospel is to change us into what our Heavenly Father wants us to be. So let's repent if we have not been reading everyday and strive to have the word of God in our homes. I love this restored gospel so much!
Have a blessed week! I will see y'all next week.
