Transfer 11 Week 4

Hello!
Wasn't Conference awesome!!! In the emails from my family they made
mention of the fact that sometimes life gets harder right before
really good things and such was the case before this general
conference. Also this week we had Zone Training Meeting. Also this
week our mission President took the mission Leadership to the Temple
as part of our meeting that we had this week. It was amazing. I feel
like that session was one of the most uplifting and enlightening
experience that I've had. It was amazing to feel of the reverence and
the spirit as we all came prepared. Before we went in our mission
President challenged us to think about the concept of how our thoughts
lead to actions, our actions lead to habits and how our habits create
our character. I can't really put it into words how amazing this
experience was. Truly awesome. Some quotes from the discussion
afterward are "Proclaiming the gospel is not something we do
temporarily or periodically," "It is impossible to have impure
thoughts in a pure environment," "A live lived in purity overcomes
adversity", "Sow your thoughts, reap your character", "What we make of
ourselves is a gift to our Heavenly Father", "We don't need more
Mormons, we need more Disciples", "If we focus on a mission of
significance rather than a mission of accomplishments then our
accomplishments will become significant." Those are some I liked and
hope you like as well. It was also interesting to watch this week how
Christ and God are over all and are working in our lives. Conference
was awesome! I loved it so much! My companion and I felt like the
Saturday sessions were so bold, strait forward and strong. They were
amazing! I loved them! I especially enjoyed Elder Nelson's talk about
being tied to something. Are we tied to Christ or are we tied to a
ball? God's law must be our standard and don't divide ourselves with
ideas such as "my private life" or "my best behavior." Proclaim our
faith and let it show! Face our fears with faith! Elder Zwick gave an
amazing talk about controlling and avoiding anger. Avoiding corrupt
communications. Thinking of the other persons perspective. I will
admit that the Sunday morning session was my favorite. But the Sunday
afternoon seemed tailor-made for investigators! It was awesome! The
first session of Sunday started amazing with President Uctchdorf. I
loved his talk of choosing to have a disposition of gratitude IN all
things. I loved his description of bottle of bitterness vs a goblet of
gratitude. I also loved how he pointed out that we don't wait for the
rainbow to be grateful for the rain. Also the fact that he said that
there is something in us that resists endings because there is
something in us that is eternal. Endings are not endings but merely
interruptions or pauses. Something I have really been reflecting on
lately. Also Elder Ballard's talk on follow up. By the way, Elder
Ballard is totally my Grandpa. Seriously. He is. He was my mission
President's Mission President, therefore, he is my Mission Grandpa.
Yeah. It's pretty cool. Sis. Stevens gave an awesome talk. I loved
that she pointed out that the gospel is not a check list, it's a way
of life that should live in our heart. The gospel is not weight, its
wings. We can choose to reach for God's hand. Elder Stevens of the
Bishopric tied in the olympics to the idea that our life is 4 minutes.
Awesome! I loved Elder Bender's talk about the load. And President
Monson's about Love.  It was awesome!!! It was a tender hug from The
Lord. I love you all! I hope you all enjoyed conference and look
forward to reading and reviewing these precious words of advice,
comfort and wisdom. I love you all!
