how time is flying by. every week just gets faster. this week we had interviews with the President, and a Conference with half the mission. the interviews with President went well. He is a really great guy. we had to teach about how to work with comité, i have no idea how to say that in English but it is the meeting that the missionaries have with the bishop and his counselors. as a mission we have been trying really hard to work more with the members and get them more involved. really so much depends on the members, as a missionary, you can bring people to church, but whether they stay or not is up to the members, but when they dont do it, you have to let them know and bring it to their attention. a lot of missionaries and members here complain about the inactivity but they dont do anything to change it. that is the key, never complain, if your not part of the solution, your part of the problem so if everyone had the attitude what can i do to help, the church would grow so fast. i have been thinking a lot about the pre earth life, and how we made convenants before coming here. we made promises with our Heavenly Father before coming here. but we dont remember them, so sometimes it is hard to fulfill them. but i know that i made a convent that i would share gospel with everyone that i could. i know that because i am here on the mission. but just because we made the convenant in the pre earth life doesnt mean that we are going to fulfill, it is our choice here in this life. i know that all of us made that convenant with our Heavenly Father that we would do all we could in this life to help as many of his children return to Him as possible. We do not have the Gospel, the key to eternal happiness, to keep it to ourselves, we have it to teach to others and bless the lives of others, and if we dont share it with them their sins will fall upon our heads Jacob 1 19. I feel bad sometimes thinking about my year in college and knowing that i did not do my best to share the gospel with some friends that i easily could have. regret is the worst feeling someone can have. so that is why i am doing the best in the mission so i can honestly say that i have no regrets, i did all i could to bring souls unto Christ. that is our goal in life help others obtain eternal life.
So anyways our conference was good as well. we had some doctors come and tells us some health tips, and we all got a flu shot. i really dont like flu shots i always get more sick with them, this week i was feeling a little sick but now i am doing great. everything is doing great. there are cambios next week so i will let you all know what happens.
love you lots
