So this week has
been kinda cold, I guess more cool for this area. It
has stayed in the
40's and 50's all week. Nothing too cold but a
little prep for
winter. This week was also pretty awesome because of
General
Conference! I don't think I have ever been so excited to watch
general conference
as I have been on my mission. It truly is a
revelatory
experience.
I especially
Loved Elder Quentin L Cook's talk about being
prepared for the
storms of life. I love the phrase "Ship shape and
Bristol
Fashion". That was an answer
directly to me of one of the
questions I had
prepared to take to conference. I had prepared in my
notes the question
"What does the Lord expect of me as a missionary?"
The idea of being
Ship shape and Bristol Fashion was the answer I was
looking for. As I
continue to strive to be prepared and ready for the
challenges and
trial that will come I have noticed that some things
that used to seem difficult
are now more simple and easier to bear.
This week was a
little slow yet even though it was somewhat slow it
was amazing to see
how the Lord still helps his work progress. On
Friday Elder
Nelson came on an exchange with us. During that exchange
we stopped by the
house of one of our investigators. They let us in
and we told them
about General Conference. Right then and there he
selected it to
record it so if he didn't watch it then he could watch
it later. On Sunday
night we had an appointment with them. They had not
watched conference
yet but before we left they had it on and were
sitting and watching
it. It was awesome to see as well that in just the
first few minutes
they already had something stand out to them. They
are prepared for
the gospel, their progress has been slow but it is
amazing to see
their progress still happening. I love this work and I
love our Savior.
General Conference truly is a time to receive direct
revelation for the
world from the Lord. The gospel is true. I know it
and I love it.

Kimball
