This last week was a great week, and it ended with General Conference. I have to say that I was more excited than normal for this conference. I was just anxious to learn and write down all the answers to my questions! And the first session saturday morning answered all but one of my questions! My favorite talks were by Elder Lawrence, Elder Maynes, Elder Hales, President Uchtdorf(Saturday) and President Monson`s. I did notice some topics that were very interesting to me, but I enjoyed them. I may not understand why I needed to listen to them but I know that it is for my own good! Probably my favorite part about conference was to sit next to A. and S. practically all of Sunday to listen with them. They loved the conference! They were a little down because they still haven't received a new operation date for S. But they are continuing on in their faith. They are going to be married and baptized on Friday! So we are doing everything we can to help them prepare!
I did a division this week with an Elder that has troubles with his self esteem. It really touched me because this missionary is great and he knows how to teach, find people, baptize and he does it all really well! But his self confidence seemed to be small, so it was a great chance for me to share with him some experiences that I have had in the mission, what helped me to gain more self confidence! We were both motivated and lifted up spiritually! The other division I went to Villa Hayes again and I was able to visit some investigadors that I found last time, and they are progressing so fast! They are going to be baptized next week. They were super happy to see me! They kept sharing with me all they have learned in the last month and a half. I was able to feel their testimony and see the conversion that they were having! It was such a testimony grower! A whole family is changing their lives just cause we opened our mouths and talked to them in their house one afternoon. What a blessing to see them progress before I leave!
My trip to the Chaco is still coming up...and I finally convinced Elder R. to come with me! We also have a super strong member in our Branch named W.F. He is a Pioneer of the tribe we are going to visit and helped convert over 200 nivacle translating for the missionaries in the 1980s. When we told him we are heading up there, he was super happy for us! He told us we were going where he recieved his testimony and that there was a super powerful spirit out there. So now I AM EVEN MORE EXCITED!
Well that is the sum of my week, I hope that it finds everyone in good health and spirits! I love you all so much and I pray for you. I will be writing more next week! I love you!
Love Always,
Elder Miton
