Today I hit the 17th month mark in my mission. It’s
weird how it feels like it has gone by fast, but then I look back and realize
how much has happened. I will be arriving home one month from today. I still
have so many goals that I want to accomplish before I come home. You would
think I would be a pro at time management, but this is still a weakness of
mine. It appears some of our challenges will stay with us for the majority of
our lives. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible and I should quit trying. I shall
conquer time someday!
We tried food from Thailand for lunch. It was
okay, but I’ve found that all the food here from other countries gets "Chileanized".
All the food becomes blander. I bet all of the food from other countries in the
US gets "Americanized" to have strong flavors and sweeter. We Americans
like our sweets.
Saturday and Sunday was General Conference. I
love General Conferences so much! Hermano Hector went to every session. He said
that he had seen big conferences from many other churches, but never one like
ours. He said all the talks were really powerful.
Did you watch all the sessions? I sure hope
so! The prophet and the twelve apostles receive revelation from God for our day
and it’s important that we listen to all that God is telling us. I really
liked the talk about grace, from Dieter F. Uchtdforf. It’s easy to feel like we’re
not good enough or that we are failures. This talk helps us to understand that God’s
saving grace is for us.
