Yo se que vive mi Senor

FELIZ PASCUA! FELIZ CONFERENCIA GENERAL! 

How are you all doing? Kicking butt our there in the real world? I hope so. 

This week, I wanted to share what I took away from General Conference. First of all, WOW. It was amazing! I feel like I received revelation from every single talk! One theme that I took away was that we really need to convert ourselves more as members to this gospel. Are we just going through the motions? Is our obedience casual? Why are we really being obedient? Just because we have to? Or are we really striving to be better and better each day through the grace, or enabling power of the Atonement? We as members of this great church should be striving every day to keep the commandments of God. And we should be doing it with JOY! "If ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, can ye feel so now?!" If we have been converted to this gospel, can we really say that we wake up with joy every morning with joy? That should be the case. Let us never take for granted the fact that we can see miracles every day in our lives. We can apply this to missionary work, too. Are we being casual in our obedience? Why are we really obeying? Do we wake up with joy at 6:30, knowing that the Lord is on our side and that we can do all things through Him? I felt a true joy this week as I saw my investigators progressing and truly wanting to learn more. 

We had Carmen`s baptism Saturday. It was beautiful. She is the little, old lady with cancer. She talked so much to us about how excited she was to receive the Holy Ghost. As we sat there, I watched tears stream down her face as her wish came true. She is truly one of the pure in heart who shall see God one day. It made me tear up to see her finally get what she most desired in her life. She probably wont live for very much longer because her cancer has no cure, and she doesnt want to get surgery. But we talk all the time about how we will have parties in heaven together. I love her. I didnt realize how attached I could get to a little old lady who I just met, but I know that that is how Heavenly Father feels for her. Below is a picture of her baptism. 

I hope that you all took a minute to remember what Easter is really about this past Sunday. There is a video that the church made that is so amazing. He is there for all of us. He is our rock and our light. He will save us from any heartache that we may have. Look to Him in every thought. Doubt not. Fear not. 

I love you all! HAVE A GREAT WEEK! TELL ME ALL ABOUT WHICH CONFERENCE TALK YOU LIKED!!!
