Week 34 Ermita October 26, 2015
bueno toda vĂa tango churillo!!!!! haha i dont think any of you are gonna know what that means... but that's alright look it up ha this week was pretty good pretty plain nothing to exciting happened except for Elder Brent Nelson and his wife of the Quorum of the 70 came and talked in our stake conference and that was super awesome Saturday we had a priesthood session at 4 and then the general at 7 haha me and my companion didn't know if we were suppose to go to the 4 o clock priesthood session or not so we just went haha we were the only missionaries there after the session i talked to my zone leaders and i was like man you guys missed out on the priesthood session it was great and they were like dude we weren't suppose to go to that and we were like ya well no one told us and i was like well if were gonna be rebellious missionaries that was a pretty good thing to do ha ha it was a great session he talked about our role as priesthood holders and he said that in order this is our roles
1st role is to be a husband
2nd to be a father
3rd employee or employer
4th church calling
lots of us were kind of shocked that that was the order but he told us that 1st we always need to have good and our relationship with him and our wife is first but then he said if the 1st three things aren't in order we cant do our church calling it was a great talk it really touched my heart i in the other sessions the night session and Sunday morning they talked a lot about missionary work but the thing they talked most about is
family home evening
family scripture study
family pray
Elder Nelson didn't know Spanish so he talked in English but he told a lot of great stories he told a story that i really really liked he said that when he was a stake president in there house in Idaho falls they had a sand box in the back yard and that there boy loved playing in it he said that they only had one rule no water in the sand box because after it will turn in to mud and it will make a huge mess he said one day he came home from work he saw the hose all rung out and leading to the back yard he went into the backyard and saw his son covered in mud playing in the sand box having a great time he said he was very mad he said i had a bad day at work and so he grabbed his boy by the hand sprayed him off with the hose told him he was very disappointed with him and that he new that that was a rule and sent him in the house crying he said after when he was winding up the hose the lord gave him a revelation he said that the lord said to him Brent every single other person in your stake has a loving stake president but your son does not he said from that day forward that he wanted his son to grow up good in the church and he said that our kids are gonna see how our heavenly father is for how our earthly father is if our earthly father is mean to him he is going to think our heavenly father is mean so he said if we want our kids to know that they have a loving heavenly father we have to be a loving earthly father this story really touched me and i know that we need to be examples to our kids he said our kids can teach us a lot of things patience which I'm sure i taught a lot of this to my parents hahaha they can teach you love and they can teach your how to keep the commandments
he also said that when he was a stake president lots of couples would come in to there office and say president our marriage is falling apart its because he doesn't show enough attention to me and she doesn't do this or that and he said well our you doing family home evening our you doing family prayer our you doing family scripture study and they said well we know that we need to do that but Brent tell us the things that our really important that will really help us and he said well our you doing family home evening every week haha our you doing scripture and prayer every night he said these our the things most important this is my challenge for all of you i know its hard and I'm sure I'm gonna learn a lot more how hard it is when i have a family but i know that if we do these every day and the same time that we will be blessed and we will be happy and closer as a family Elder Nelson and his wife have 8 kids and he said we are blessed because every single on of them served missions every single one of them our now married and sealed in the temple he said lots of people would come up to him and ask how did you raise such a good family and he said that he had family night scripture study and prayed as a family and went to church i know that this is true he said something else really funny haha sorry I'm talking a lot about this but this is really all that happened this week he said sometimes alot of you can see that the mom has 5 kids but she is raising 6 kids haha he said this cant be how it is the mom cant raise the dad haha he said that it says in the family proclamation that it is the dads job to lead his family to lead the family home evenings to lead scripture and family prayer
i know that this church is true and i know that i am learning things that really will help me in my future i love this gospel i know that our Savior Jesus Christ is our teacher in this life when i was sitting in conference Elder Nelson was baring his testimony about Jesus and i was sitting next to a pregnant lady haha i don't know if she was just really pregnant and emotional but i noticed that she was crying as he was baring his testimony about our redeemer Jesus Christ i know that we all have the power to bare our testimony don't be afraid bare your testimony to your friends and family members just like this pregnant Mexican lady is was sitting by you can touch someones heart i love you all and i am very grateful and humbled for everything you do for me God is good and he loves us all don't forget it
Have a great week
WITH LOTS OF LOVE
