I know that if each and every one of us will watch General Conference at least just one session with a question in mind and a prayer in our hearts, the words spoken will touch us and guide us to the answers we need. That is the power of the Holy Ghost!!
It will be Saturday and Sunday. Both days there is a Morning Session (9-11am California Time. 12-2pm for my friends on the East Coast) and an Afternoon Session (1-3pm California Time. 4-6pm EST). You can watch it live on ChurchofJesusChrist.org :)
This week has been amazing. I have seen so many miracles in the lessons we have had. It has been so fun!!! We showed up to one lesson and when we got there he mentioned something about not being too good. So we really tried to patiently let him open up to us. He hasn't really explained much in detail what he is going through, but he told us he lives everyday knowing it could be his last and it has something to do with his living situations.
Regardless, we talked about Christ's atonement, the sacrifice he made when He suffered for our sins. We talked about repentance and becoming clean, grace, forgiveness, and change. I shared some experiences from growing up and cried haha. But it was just such an emotional lesson!!!! He really is struggling right now and as we talked with him about change he basically said he is scared of change. It was so sweet though because at the end he was talking about how we as missioanries bring light into dark places. People try and hide, but we light up the darkness anyway. The way he phrased it I cant remember exactly, but the way he phrased it made me recognize that he knows the light we carry isn't ours. But that it is the light of Christ (John 8:12)! Also he said that he was one of those people being stubborn and trying to cover himself with a blanket but he said that we are poking holes in his blanket. Haha it was so funny, but so amazing that he can see how applying the Gospel into his life brings light! He totally already knows these things are true. The Spirit is already helping him to see it.
I hope you all have a great week!
