I love La Conferenci
Wow!
What a great weekend to a great week!! I was sooo excited for conference!!! At the very end though hna Zepeda said :It's you last one as a missionary" Boom I got really sad and then had to focus again. I had much revelation to what I need to work on and who I need to become. I love that the Spirit brings things to my mind and heart so that I can understand so much more. I had the more powerful revelation about why I was on my mission.
I'll let you in on a little piece of that. Before my mission I knew what I wanted and what I needed. I thought that I was going to have a pretty good and happy life. I was doing what I was supposed to be doing, I knew what I wanted to do with my life, I knew how I wanted to raise my family and so on. Anyway during one of the talkes, I had such a strong feeling and revelation about my life had I not come to serve my mission.
There is a talk from years ago that is that you can always have "good, better, or best." During the Conference I knew that without my mission and the enlightenment and understanding gained here, I would have had a "better" life. God's thoughts are always higher than our own thoughts even if we don't believe it at times. God wanted me to have the "best" life, so he answered a weak and willing Daughter's prayer to know whether or not to go on a mission. I felt that lvoe of God more powerfully than I had receiving that revelation knowing that my Father in Heaven wanted to give me EVEN more than what He has already given me. I was overwhelmed with those thoughts and so much more. I want the "best" and I know that God knows best....so all I need to do is follow Him. It all makes sense really. President Monson, a Prophet called of God, spoke on obedience. This life is the test os OBEDIENCE. I get it. Do you get it?
I have learned so much about agency as well. It all comed down to obedience. We choose, liberty and life, or captivity and death. It's not I choosing to steal or not to steal. Those are the consequences. I know that all the was said during the Conference is true and we just have to change continuously one step at a time to better ourselves so we can have the "best."
Any meeting we have is pointless if nothing changes after it. So Conference was great, but we can't just put the notes away in the bookshelf and not study the words or change. Changes and improvement need to be made. Will I change because of what I learned at Conference? I hope so. Will you?
I loved sooo many talk...but obviously we all loved Elder Hollands. Wow that was amazing. Seriously, we just have to believe or have a desire to believe.
Keep believing, keep loving, and keep loving God. For those whom love God, keep the commandments.
Love,
Hna Arguello
