Ok I am so so sorry about the mix up with conference. During sessions on the KSL channel they showed us and our mission!! So go to KSL.org and it is called Dared to Serve and we are towards the end of the segment. It shows President Alba and Sister Alba and..everyone! Haha it is so great! We were all watching it yesterday in this tiny room because we were streaming it from a computer and we were all freaking out! It was so fun! I am sorry about that. I was confused too and then they told us that it wasnt on the same channel as conference, that it was on the KSL channel. Anyways go check it out on KSL.org. Its pretty great :)
Oh my goodness. Wasn't conference the best!? My hand is sore today from all of the notes that we took the past two days. A couple of talks stood out to me. I loved Lynn G. Robbins talk about which way we face. My favorite quote from that talk is, "Courage is all of your virtues at the point of testing" Amen! Dallin H. Oaks did great. I was able to remind myself of the great intercessory prayer this morning during personal study. My favorite verse from that whole prayer is verse 15! We are in the world, but not of the world. He reminded us how powerful kindness can be. Another one that stood out to me is President Monsons first address when he talked about walking where Christ walked isnt as important as walking AS Christ walked. He reminded us to ponder the path of our feet. All of the talks were awesome. I LOVED President Eyrings talk about personal revelation, and Elder Bednars talk. I can't wait to review all of them again. And wasn't the whole native language thing awesome!?!
This week we got a brand new Greenie!!!! She is awesome! She has the BEST laugh!! Haha I love her so much. This one came pre trained. Her first night in the field she left a harvest blessing in spanish! Hermana Fernandez and I are so impressed with her. I guess in the MTC (she was in Provo, not Mexico) they were given ipads. Crazy! Its been so fun having her and I have been able to see my own spanish improve! I am feeling more confident in myself as well as with the language!
Saturday night after the priesthood session, the Albas invited us and our investigators over to their house for an ice cream social. We were able to bring the Fonsecas and they loved it! It is always so fun to go to the mission home :) Their house is gorgeous. We gave them a tour of the house and they fell in love with their back yard. It is seriously like a mini forest. It is beautiful! Sister Alba wanted to talk to Hermana Fernandez and I alone for a few minutes during the social so she took us into President Albas office and when we walked into the office they had pictures with President Monson, Elder Perry, Elder Holland...I think almost all of the apostles. It was SO cool! Seriously, we have the best mission president ever. Our mission is super strict and I am so grateful for that because that shows President Albas love for each of us. "We are in the greatest mission in the world!" according to Sister Alba :)
Family. Missions are the best. I love my mission SO much. I have grown closer to our Savior and I have built more confidence in myself. This gospel will change your life. I have seen it in my own life and in the lives of my investigators. The change will happen only if you let it happen. I love you all. Thank you for everything. All the support, love and advice. Have a great week!! Love, Hermana Hamblin
