General Conference weekend in Juyjuy!

This week was the biggest holiday that we have as missionaries, General Conference!! its always great to hear the inspiring words of the leaders of the church. I know Russell M Nelson is a prophet of God and that Jesus Christ leads us through him. This conference inspired me, as I'm sure it did many of you. We heard messages of hope, happiness, and were promised many great blessings for keeping the commandments! 

We learned so much and it's impossible to pick favorite talks but a couple of the themes that I was able to see were holiness, happiness and the role those play in the plan of salvation. We were promised that as we seek to increase our holiness, we will increase our happiness, no matter the situation. One of my favorite quotes by Elder Uchtdorf was, "God loves you no less when you struggle, then when you triumph." No matter how many times we fall, as long as we are moving forward on the covenant path, we will have joy. We are all here on this earth on the same adventure, fighting to get home. God has given us his restored gospel, prophets, scriptures, prayer, leaders and every other tool we would ever need to get back to his presence. Trust in him, he loves you! 

I hope that we can all follow the counsel that we have received this past weekend and really use it to draw closer to God and the life he wants for us. Follow the advice of our prophet and study the Book of Mormon as you never have before, restrengthen your testimony of the restoration of the gospel. Start now the preparation for the next conference and I promise it will help guide you in the coming days!

Love you all!
