HEY THERE FAMILY!!!!
Happy Easter!!!!!!! I hope it was an awesome one and I hope that you guys had a great time watching conference!!!! I know I did!!!!! I absolutely loved it. I think the best I have seen yet. It was amazing. We were fortunate enough to be able to watch all five sessions in our stake center. It was an awesome experience and I just felt the greatest spirit as I watched and listened to our prophets and apostles. I received so many answers and I learned so many lessons.
Saturday morning was awesome! I learned a ton about fasting and how if I want more blessings and more faith I need to fast AND pay my fast offerings. Elder Eyring gave a great talk. Another thing that I learned is that, well, I gotta get married fast. Which sucks, but we got burned too many times by the apostles. I don't want to be that RM bum. And well family, you've got four and a half months to set up all the blind dates okay? Haha. But I really did love how everyone talked about the family and marriage. It made me so grateful that I have grown up in a great family and I have received so many blessing for it. And it made me excited to have my own!!! but right now it's mission time. Don't go thinking that I got trunky. I'm more focused then ever right now. haha.
Priesthood session was great, the talks that I watched anyways. I got to watch Elder Ballards talk and Elder Soares and then we got a phone call from the sisters. There is one sister that has heart problems and well we had to take her to the hospital Saturday night. But everything is fine now and she's all good. We just didn't get to see all of priesthood but I heard it was amazing!!!!!!
And then came Sunday morning and it was AWESOME!!!!! I loved President Monson's talk about temples and it made me so excited to go back to the temple and feel the spirit there. I haven't been to the temple in over a year and I am missing it. I also really liked Bishop Causse's talk. I always love it when he talks and he gave a great talk about really seeing the things that we have right in front of us and not disregarding them, but actually counting our blessings. Seeing what we have and seeing how blessed we are. It was a great talk. And of course the heart wrenching, adrenaline filled sermon of Elder Jeffery R. Holland. It was AMAZING. So so good. I loved it and well I could receive an even deeper understand and appreciation of the atonement and the loving hand that Jesus gives me every time I fall. I am so grateful for him and his love.
I am so grateful for the general conference and I can't wait for October!!! Woo!!!! Its gonna be awesome. but for the mean time, To Work!!!
I love my family and I wish the best for you guys and all my friends. May God guide you and bring you peace and joy through your faith and obedience.
I love you guys!!! Everything is just hunky dory here in Peru!
Have a great week!!!!
Elder McIff
