This week, the highlight would have to be the grand opportunity to learn and hear at the feet of the prophet of God: Thomas S. Monson, and the Apostles called and chosen by Jesus Christ. I hope everyone had a chance to listen to these men, If you did not, I invite you to do so. I learned a lot from this past weekend and testify that each one of you can learn something special only for yourself.
There
were talks and testimonies for everyone. President Eyring even talked
about this. If we come to Conference with a question or looking for
revelation, we can and will find it if we apply ourselves. He said
listen to each testimony as you will find something for each and
everyone one of you. I was listening and looking for the testimony of
each speaker, but sometimes I could not find them. I then looked in the
Scripture study guide in the back of the Spanish scriptures and learned
that testimony was what the leaders were sharing and teaching. I
testify that what President Eyring said is true.
In
this General Conference we had the chance to hear about 4 new temples
of the Lord here on the earth, AND ONE WILL COME TO QUITO!!!!!! It is a
great time we live in to have so many temples across the land, and
earth. We heard this announcement and the entire chapel screamed and
shouted for the joy and excitement they had as a temple is coming to
this city.
This past week I ponderized the
verse found in Doctrine and Covenants 8:2. In this verse, it speaks
about how we will receive the voice of the Holy Spirit of God. It will
speak to our minds and our hearts as it dwells in our hearts. I
remember this scripture in seminary, the teacher asked which is said
more? mind or heart? and if you have conflicting thoughts and feelings,
which should we follow? We should follow the feelings we have in our
hearts if they will bring us closer to Christ.
That time has come again...but dont worry, I will be fine. Until next week.
