What a wonderful conference weekend, right? I absolutely love General Conference, simply listening to it makes my heart feel good :) I remember being little and thinking that conference sessions lasted an eternity. I now have a hard time believing how quickly each session goes. Although many topics were mentioned, the one that most stood out to me was that of sustaining our prophet and leaders. One of my favorite things to teach investigators is that we have a living prophet in this latter days who communicates directly with God. I have a firm testimony that President Thomas S. Monson is a righteous man who has been called by God. He communicates directly with our Heavenly Father. He is a special witness of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know that as we listen to his counsel, as well as that of his counselors and the twelve apostles, we will be directed to happiness in this life and in the eternities. I love President Thomas S. Monson and trust in him completely as a called prophet of God.
In other news, I have a new companion. Hermana Rosales left David after 6 months and was sent to Pedregal Tocumen, my old area. I am now companions with Hermana Caniz, another companion from Guatemala. She has been a member all of her life, and is the youngest of 5 children. She is the first missionary to serve in her family. She has 14 months in the mission and is a great missionary. She is much quieter and more serious than Hermana Rosales, so the house has a different, calmer atmosphere to it now. I´m grateful for her willingness to work hard with me because we have only a few weeks to get to know the area together and build up a large base of investigators. We´ve found a lot of positive investigators this past week and plan on making return visit these next couple of days. We both know that there is much to be done here in Barrio 3. Also, an elder who is just beginning his mission is now serving in the ward with my District Leader, Elder Santizo. His name is Elder Juarez, from Mexico. I´m not sure I´ve ever met a more eager elder. He´s brought a lot of life to the area. He is also extremely determined to learn english. Every time we see them he has a long list of questions for me about pronunciation and wants to practice his english. I think it´s great that he wants to learn so bad, so I do what I can to help him out.
I think that´s it for this week. I hope you all have a marvelous week and can see the differences in your lives as you apply the beautiful truths taught to us in conference. I love you all!
Go Forward With Faith,
Hermana Falslev
