I'm getting transferred! I'm going to San Angelo Texas, and
I'm going to be in the Spanish Branch only. I'll only be teaching in Spanish!
Haha, I’m pretty excited. My companion is the district leader and he's
been out for like 8 months. I don't know too much about him right now.
General Conference was the best thing ever! It was so
awesome and I learned so much! One of my favorite talks was Elder Hollands.
Especially his testimony. It was powerful and my heart was pricked. There were
lots of wonderful talks, I learned a lot. I learned how important it is for
families to have family home evening, read and pray together. These are the
most important things. One of my questions that I wrote down to be answered was
"How Can I feel the Spirit more with my companion?" And when the talk
was given on listening to others, I was reminded of the immense importance of
listening. When we listen to our Companions and Investigators, we will also be
able to listen to the Spirit. It will guide us and bless us with the words we
need to say and the things we need to do. I also learned that humility is key.
As we are more humble we are more Obedient. As we are more obedient we are more
charitable. As we are more Charitable we are more understanding and can discern
the thoughts and the hearts of those we teach and love and serve. Conference
was great! I loved it! And I love The Prophet! Thomas S. Monson is today’s
living Prophet and has been called of God! He Is a special witness that he
lives. I know that if we follow the Prophet, we will not ever be led astray.
I don't know what else to share with you..... I Got a pretty
awesome compliment yesterday from a less active who we have been teaching. He
said "I have seen a lot of growth in you!" So it was pretty cool!
Love you all! The Book of Mormon is true! And Thomas S.
Monson is the Prophet!
Con amor, Elder Allen
