Conference last week was very nice. We watched it as a branch in our little chapel. We didn´t get a large attendance but we had some troopers who came back for the majority of the sessions. Most folks here struggle to get through eight hours of General Conference but one sister, Sister Marta, came back for almost all. She was baptized this year and this was her first General Conference. She told be after the first session she went home and told her Mom about the experience. She´s learning a lot and the branch members are always helping her out.
Conference was edifying and instructive. I don´t have my Journal with me but I appreciated the many inspired messages. After at least two speakers, one being President Nelson, I´ve decided to make the Book of Mormon a greater priority in my study.
This Sunday of fast and testimony was great. The highlight was the testimony of a young man named Roy. Roy is our teacher in the branch who always prepares the sacrament. I was sitting next to him after the sacrament was passed, and we decided that if I shared my testimony, he would share something. Quick background information, this country is crazy about a cartoon anime show called Dragon Ball Super, all the kids watch it and play the video games. Anyways, after I shared my testimony, Roy gets up and shared how Dragon Ball Super teaches gospel principles. It was awesome, words can´t fully describe the experience of watching this young slightly timid youth, share he´s growing testimony.
Aneudi and Grecia didn´t make it to church because someone died in a car accident yesterday morning and the funeral was Sunday morning, but they did send their sons, Giovanni and Popo cher (real name Adrian) to church.
The district is doing well, I´m district leader of the Elders now. Elder Lee, Elder Eleuterio and their comps are in training, Elder Whitby and Elder Alquicira.
Have a good week family.
Love Elder Call
