Conference Weekend #3

It was another good week here in the Pueblo of Albardon. We were really busy last week with meetings, interviews, etc. One of those weeks. 

First of all, General Conference was awesome. I feel we are very blessed to have living prophets and apostles in our day to help guide us. I left the conference with desires to become better and change. If you are feeling this too, I invite you to actually do it! Faith without works is dead. 

Monday and tuesday consisted of traveling and meetings in Mendoza, like normal. On Wednesday, we had interviews with President Goates, which, as normal, were amazing. Dang, President knows so much. He´s a great help and recieves revelation to help out the mission. They´re not even interviews... it´s just a time to talk openly about anything with president. It´s sweet. Wednesday evening President came with us to work in our area. It was pretty awesome, a little different. But we had a car in our giant area to we were able to teach like 4 lessons which is quite a bit. I also think its the first time an iPad has ever been in Campo Afuera and all the kids were way interested in president´s swag. 

So then friday we had our zone meeting and Saturday and Sunday was General Conference. Like normal, I watched it in the Gringo Room in English, with Elder Morgan and Elder Jorgensen, the other Gringos in Albardon. We watched all 5 sessions on the little computer but the quality was good. It´s amazing how technology has changed... like dang we saw the same conference live as the people in Utah watching it from home. 

I learned quite a bit from the conference. I really enjoyed the talk by W. Mark Bassett. I basically learned that we shouldn´t worry about deep doctrine when we can´t even recite the 5 points of the Doctrine of Christ. There are simple truths in the gospel that we must study even if we think we already know it. Also, I learned that president monson has given 230 general conference talks. fun fact.

I don´t know if I´ve mentioned this before, but Elder Balmaceda´s first name is Socrates. Pretty much describes him hahaha.

Well that´s it for this week. Have a good week and apply what you learned in the conference. I know that those men and women and chosen by God to convey His Word to the world. I know that missionary work is way important and brings blessings that are hard to describe.

Love,

Elder Anderson
