I like to call these weeks the ¨Christmastime¨ weeks, not because of Christmas but for the same anticipation I get for general conference that I got when I was a kid from Christmas!
Ok, that´s a pretty strange comparison, but of well, now as we reflect this whole week had prepared us to receive revelation from our prophets during conference. One thing we noted was how many times we noticed forgiving others in the conference talks, which we can apply since we have faced a lot of opposition from the family members of our investigators really persecuting them for listening and coming to church with us. It was quite hard/frustrating to have that happen again and again with several people who were progressing very well, but now we can see that in order to progress we must forgive, which has made it easier to see the hand of the lord working with us.
Other little miracles we have been seeing is that in every seemingly arbitrary place where we are, the Lord has given us great opportunities in the form of people. The best example happened in between the sessions of conference on Saturday; we were simply sitting on a bus stop and started talking with the man next to us, and it turned out he was a former investigator. We invited him to the next session of conference, and he came and as it turns out the missionaries who´s area this was had been recently looking for him. There truly is a heavenly father who knows the best for us, we simply must follow his will as he reveals it to us through his prophets!
Have a great week full of the spirit!
