No no imagine watching General Conference! Yeah!

 4/3/2023

Hola! hermanas y hermanos (I know your so impressed that it wasn't from Google translate. I'm sure I botched it)

Well this weekend was revelatory and spirit filled. My lamps are filled with oil. 

This week I had an exchange with Elder Nielson in Janesville Spanish. I was back with Hermano Merino (the man who insulted me a lot like 2 weeks ago) and he was super cool. I kind of want to take back what I said because I know he was just joking and having fun. But it was great to feel the strong spirits of the Janesville Spanish group (it's so small it's called a group) also during the exchange I asked a guy "If Jesus Christ asked you to read the Book of Mormon would you say yes" after he said no the first time and he said "I guess I would be a little more inclined too" my mind almost got blown away by how he shook off if Jesus Christ asked him to do it. He was not elect

Also funny story I was sleeping during dinner and Elder Thompson gets a call from our friend and he says he wants to be baptized so Elder Thompson put our friend on baptismal date while I'm sleeping haha. It was weird to hear afterwards like I was dreaming or something

I guess going back to general Conference some of my favorite talks were by Allen D. Haynie about prophets and the Bottle crushing one.

President Nelsons talk on being peacemakers "true disciples are peacemakers" 

K. Brett Nattress on the healing power of the Atonement and to always look forward

Mark A. Bragg "The Savior is the ultimate example of poise when he said not my will but thing be done."

M Russell Ballard "what matters most is what lasts the longest."

Vern P Stanfill, being perfected in Christ and the Lord loves effort!

I know that we are led and guided by a Prophet today. There was a reason why the whole first session of Conference was basically about following the prophet. He is the watchman on the watch tower. Things are coming that only he will see and it is our job to follow the Prophet!

Todo se puede!!!

Wisconsin Culture: the weekend for Wisconsin is Monday so on our preparation day everything is closed. This is not just Stoughton but every area I've been in. Kind of sad
