General Conference Wrap Up

HOLA FAMILIA WOW! I am totally in agreement with the fact that general conference was absolutely amazing! I received a lot of answers, felt the spirit, and was edified. I was super surprised when I heard that the changed the missionary age. Just two days ago my comp and I were talking about why the ages were 19 and 21 and then they went and changed them! It is exciting news and is only going to help build Gods kingdom here on earth! Last week our interviews with Pres Armstrong went great as well as a zone conference. We learned about seeing things with the eyes of faith and being happy as we work for the Lord. I feel that the main topics of conference were becoming truly converted, being truly happy, and relying on the Savior. I definitely have a lot of things to do better and will strive to make the necessary changes to become more like the Savior. I got my package this week! I still haven't read the letters but I am doing that today and will see if I can respond...its a lot to write! I was super excited and my comp and I are enjoying the content. I also received my ballot to vote! I have filled it out and will send it today or tomorrow! Go Romney! I was doing my newspaper reading this morning and found the article about him...it seems as if though all is going well and his reputation is positive! This week was full of a lot of rain! I believe that it rained 5 of the 7 days. It was fine it just made it a little more difficult for investigators to make it to church. We only had one come to the conference along with a handful of recent converts. I hope that you all enjoyed conference and were inspired to do better just as I am. Tell dad that I don't like his new job cause he never writes anymore....but hey if he doesn't have time Sunday night tell him to write me on Friday-his day off! My comp and I are doing well as we continue to learn lots and help as many people as we can make covenant with their Father in Heaven. We are anxiously waiting for the conference with Elder Oaks on the 27th and hope to have a few baptisms in between. Some times I get frustrated with myself and then feel down but after all that I heard in the conference I know that I have to always be positive and happy as I go about my Fathers work. I know that as we give it our all and do our very best, there is nothing else that can bring greater joy or satisfaction then then living the gospel and sharing it with everyone! I know that this church is true and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. It has helped me to become who I am today and continues to help me to be more like Jesus Christ. I know that Christ lives and he atoned for our sins in the garden and gave His life on the cross. I know that as we gain a greater understanding of the atonement it compels us to make righteous decisions and do act in the way the Savior would act. I know that families can be together forever. I know that Heavenly Father knows and loves us and is guiding us daily. I know that we are happy and without regrets as we live worthy of the spirit and follow His promptings. Thanks for everything! You are all amazing! Until next week....´ CON AMOR Y UN ABRAZO GRANDE Elder Bowden
