Suffice it to say that this week was crazy and busy.
The highlight was the 2-mission conference with Elder Oaks and Sister Oaks! The mission presidents and their wives also spoke, along with two area authorities, Elder Cabrera and Elder Viñas. It was awesome!!! I ended up singing, sadly, because the other mission´s pianist had already been asked first. But I knew him -- Elder Bentley was in my BYU ward for a year!!!
The conference was lovely. I especially loved how Elder Oaks talked about being an instrument in the Lord´s hands. He compared it to a pen -- we need to be full of ink, or we need to treasure up in our minds the words of eternal life. We need to be in working order, or healthy and taking care of ourselves and our bodies. We need to be ready to go at any time in the Lord´s service, especially as FULL-TIME missionaries. We need to write the Lord´s message and do His will, not our own. I thought it was an ingenious analogy! Sister Oaks was also amazing -- she brought her famous testimony gloves for the mission, too!
I also had 2 baptismal interviews this week. Ana Corbo will be baptized tomorrow!! yay!!!
Um, sorry, but the ciber is closing right now so I have to go. Love you all so much!!!!!
