I really loved alllll of the talks. They each had a nice
message especially directed to me as a missionary of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But the part in particular that I want to
talk about it the very first thing mentioned by the prophet.
Missionaries can now leave when they are 18 years
old! (for males) and 19 (for females). What a great blessing to all of
us. I encourage and exhort ALL that are within the power of these words,
to please consider serving a mission. Now is the time to go. We cannot
delay the blessings that we receive from serving. I can purely testify
of all the blessings that I have received here in the mission and I hope
that one day I can make an unlimited list of them all. Prophets are
called of God to do the work of His Son here on the Earth. I know that
President Monson talked with God on this decision.
I also wanted to let you know some other big news
that is happening here in the Mission Argentina Córdoba.... We had
transfers!! And I am staying here in Río Ceballos. And im also staying
with my comp Elder Goates..... And some other big news. We are both
training!!! So yeah, I don´t know my new companion yet. He is still in
the MTC. I really do hope that he is as ready to serve with all his
might mind and strength.
Some other stuff that happened was that the Flia
Moyano went to the Conference this weekend. So did José. José also went
to the Priesthood session. After that session we started talking to the
bishop about how José liked it and he said that he loved it but that he
had to go leave and go to work. The bishop then told us that we have to
baptize him. During the conference he had a vision of José being the
Young mens President and saw him dressed in white just like the Prophet
said. Soo.... we have a baptism the 20th.
The only bummer about this weekend was that the Mom
of the flia Moyano didn´t end up going to conference so we have to
postpone the baptisms of the little girls. They are soooo excited to get
baptized that im sure they wont mind the delay for one more week. I
sure hope that the girls start bugging the mom about her going as well
;D
Oh yeah, we received a letter from President today and I have a special message for Cassie. The president says, "Mi sugerencia para aquellos misioneros cuyas familias les administran su FB
es que le pidan a sus padres o familiares que no lo hagan más y que no
contacten desde el FB del misionero a personas de la misión.".....
Which
translates to: My advice for those missionaries whose families are
administrating their Facebook is that they ask their parents or family
members to not contact anyone from their facebook to anyone in the
mission.
So
Cassie, another big favor that you can do for me. Please just leave the
friend requests of people here in Argentina waiting for me to come home
and accept them. :D love you cass.
I
hope you are all doing amazing! this week was awesome. Lots of miracles
and lots of love shared worldwide. I hope you all choose to love your
neighbor as yourself and you keep to sharing the gospel with your family
members, friends, etc.
Thank you for all of your prayers!
11 months left!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Gray
