I happened to be present for all of conference so I did happen to hear that Elder Hales died .
Conference was super great but before I get to that I will talk about my week!
My new companion from Peru got here on Monday
and we have had no problems other than the fact that everyday he just
wears these steal toed work boots to proselyte and at night I want to
die. The big problem is that he wears THE SAME SOCKS EVERYDAY.
Luckily
and through revelation Elder Carrion left this pet spray when he left
and when my companion goes upstairs or something I drench his shoes in
it. Also the room.
He is also very smart but he
has a very low tolerance for people that say something wrong and
he knows what is right. He has four out of six years in college down of
biochemical engineering.
As for other sad
news. Elder Acosta came from my old zone and informed me that Arley
Martinez my old ward mission leader from a previous are and also the husband of Luceny who we
almost baptized was shot in the head and killed 3 weeks ago over his
motorcycle.
He fought back and they shot him in front of his 11 year old daughter and his wife.
Obviously
this is terrible but faith in Christ, like explained in conference,
isn't always faith that he will save us here on earth. Saving means that
he can take whoever he wants to live with him once again. Faith in
Christ signifies faith in his perfect plan as well.
As
for my package just more treats and some cool ties that aren't super
fat!! Also, some more cool tie tacks would be cool! I have started a
trend here! I put them on my back pack and everyone started doing it! I
want more! I will make a list this week for more things!
As
for your lesson mom. If you would like something interesting to speak
about just read the miracles of Christ and his attributes. Also, a good
story is with Ammon and how all he did was serve King Lamoni. He wanted
to just live there and King Lamoni offered Ammon one of his daughters
and he declined and asked to be his servant instead. He continued to
serve very faithfully up until the conversion of King Lamoni and his
wife.
You could use the talk of Elder Eyring this conference as well to help support that story. I believe it was the Sunday session.
Anyways, just a suggestion! Love you all!!!
Con Amor,
Elder Reese
