This week went by really
fast, I feel like it was a little boring but we found a lot of good new
investigators, 3 who went to church for the first time this weekend. Speaking
of church this weekend all the stakes in Mexico City had a special stake
conference with a broadcast transmission from Salt Lake City, Elder Andersen
spoke as well as Sister Linda Reves (In super gringo Spanish) and then Elder
Johnson and Elder DeHoyos spoke also. The conference was really, really good.
The best part that I loved was Elder Johnson's talk about reading the book of Mormon
as a family. He started to talk about the story of the serpentine totem and
Moses. All the people had to do was look up at the snake and they would be
healed and saved, but it was too easy and they didn’t do it and died. He talked
about how we all think they are idiots because it would have been so easy, but
today we do the exact same thing. The prophets and told us the daily family
scripture study is the way to mend wounds and venomous bites that attack the
family. It is so easy to read the scriptures as a family everyday but a lot of
us die spiritually because we don't complete the simple task. He also said it
is ALWAYS possible to read the scriptures as a family everyday, for some it is
more difficult but we need to find a time where we would always be able to do
it, and said "For someone who has desire, there is a solution. But for
someone without a desire, there is always an excuse". I loved the talk so
much because it is so true. The biggest difference between the spirituality of
a missionary and someone normal is we start our morning with 2 and a half hours
of studies. It is so easy to resist temptation when we use the God given
remedy, but some of us think it’s to easy and would rather do something
else.
To be honest that is really
the only thing that happened this week, today will be lots of fun, we are going
to be with the zone leaders all day, going to play 2 on 2 basketball, going out
to eat and having a good time. Thanks for all your support, I love you all and
hope you have a great week!!
Love,
Elder Adams
