This last week was a good one. Yes Mom I did the new Bible that’s been printed in Spanish. I don’t know if you watched the special the Church had on it after the first session of conference, but it’s the King James version but in Spanish, with the all Joseph Smith translations, headings at every chapter, footnotes and all. It’s cool.
The conference was amazing. I loved Elder Holland’s talk. Such power. There is no doubt in my mind that he is an Apostle of the Lord. The declaration that he made was just amazing. I really enjoyed President Utchdorfs talks, the one in Priesthood, and the one that he gave the on Saturday about Gods love. I couldn’t see all of it because there were some broadcast problems, but what I saw I enjoyed. There was a comment that he made that I really enjoyed. He said that even “the coldest winter has the hope of a warm spring”. It’s so true. There are ups and downs in life, but we have to always have the hope that something better is coming. It helped me out a lot because I don’t feel like we got the hang of things here in Tulancingo yet. We work hard, but things just aren’t falling right. But his talk really helped me to keep pushing through, hoping for the warm spring.
I enjoyed just about all the talks from the Twelve Apostles and the First Presidency. I`m excited to get the conference edition of the Ensign to be able to study it and pull things out that I didn’t get in the conference. President Utchdorf is my favorite speaker. All of his talks were awesome, but the last 3 conferences his talks have helped me the most. There is so much I want to say about conference, but it’s just amazing. How great it is to hear from a living Prophet, and Twelve Apostles that God has called today!!
It didn’t rain all this last week, surprisingly. The sun has been out in full swing, which has been good because we`ve had to wash our clothes by hand and the clothes dry a lot faster when there is sun.
Mom, I`ll be expecting your package here in the weeks coming up...
Dad, I did get to see all the sessions and in English, so I was able to hear the voices of the Apostles as they testified. The music was also awesome. Dad, when you watch the conference from Sunday in the afternoon the Tabernacle Choir sings “Oh Lord my Redeemer” and it is just stunning. It put Elder Holland in tears.
Not much new. We have our zone conference this week so I`ll be able to see President Bulloch and the APs.
But I have to run. I hope that all stays well and tell Cj to write me and tell me how he`s doing.
Elder Howard
