Buenas tardes mi familia, mis amigos, mis conocidos, vecinos, profesores, novias que nunca tuve, la conferencia general era una experiencia tan inolvidable que estoy muy emocionado por el siguiente vez que tendremos la oportunidad a escuchar al profeta.

I loved general conference!!!  I definitely noticed a huge theme in repentance, and shunning the adversary. I am so grateful for the lessons taught, and wonderful examples we have in the scriptures such as Moses who can withstand such great forces from the adversary and triumph in the glory of our heavenly nature as children of our Heavenly Father. I learned so much, that we must constantly repent and build our defenses against the enemy who desires to destroy our souls. I know that it is not easy, and never will be easy, but we have the responsibility to get on the side of our Lord and Savior and represent His name with glory and power in all that we do. In our actions, thoughts, feelings, and words. I love the prophets and apostles that we have and their divine revelation that they relieve specifically for us in these times.

In between sessions today, we finally baptized Yarixa!!!  It is a crazy story. So we heard the other missionaries were going to have a baptism in between sessions, and Yarix just needed to get in the water. When we found out we could get her to General Conference, we asked her if she would be willing to get baptized in that moment and she said yes lets do it!!!  We have been fighting for a while because her parents did not want her to get baptized at all, but would let her come to church. Well since she now is 18 years old as of a month ago, we don`t need permission and the work of the Lord was not obstructed. It was a powerful service, but what was the most powerful was her beautiful testimony that she bore after that touched my heart. To see her faith, and strength in the gospel when she feels so alone and no one in her family supports her, really showed me the example of the type of person I need to be.

True integrity to stand alone when the world is against you. I know that is true because the world is against us. The world doesn't want the work of the Lord to continue. The world is ever change, and as the prophetic words of Russell M Nelson is that it will soon be impossible to survive spiritually without the constant nourishment of the gospel. We are in a war, a war of good and evil and we need soldiers of righteousness. I invite all to ponder this general conference, and to repent. Make the changes in your life. Every one of you are sinning and may not even know it. Find that sin and change. Become closer to your Heavenly Father. Allow yourself to be humbled unto the dust and not let pride impede your repentance. Make amends with those you have done wrong. Talk to the bishop if you need to. Don't justify sin, for woe unto those who call good evil and evil good, for surely we cannot wait until that last day to say we will repent. We just cannot do that. Change NOW. Do it NOW. Don't hold off the blessings that await you. Forgive and forget NOW. As I have been putting this process in practice myself, I know it is true and am a witness that when we give our all to the Lord that He truly can heal our lives and change the way we think, feel, and act only if we let Him.

I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!
