Week 59

SOOO!! on Thursday morning we got a call from a member, she said she was leaving the area, cause a HURRICANE WAS COMING!! The excitement in my voice when I said "REALLY?" threw her off a bit, so I continued "what... oh no.. scary.." 

After talking to other members it seems it was not going to be to bad, just a 1, or something like that, anyhow, it was still exiting! A hurricane is a hurricane! I was to hit Saturday night! And there was to been ALL KINDS OF RAIN! Thursday through Saturday... The rain never came.. Friday, STILL NO RAIN!!!!! SATURDAY!!! NOTHING!!!!!  KAREN WAS THE BIGGEST BUST EVER!!! And from now on every time I meet someone named KAREN! I will have to exclaim! "YOUR NOT WHAT I EXPECTED!"   Stupid storm! pathetic! 

Anyhow, other then that failure! It was a good week, kinda slow, but a good one. We met with a bunch of "returning members"  ha, anyhow, there are a lot of people down here that still believe, but don't live accordingly, I think there was a talk kinda about that, they are just not truly converted.  So we have a lot of work to do.

How bout them Prophets?  Conference was great! No big announcement, not even a temple, so that was different, but I loved it none the less, I cant wait to read all the talks over again.

Themes, 

:Throwing down and a certain group of ladies that think they want the priesthood, and think that there is not "equality" 

:Looking forward and NOT back, forgetting past mistakes and living day by day striving to do better.

:THIS CHURCH IS THE LORDS CHURCH! Not mans, This to me was the real focuses.  So many people want to "change with the times" But the doctrines of the Lords church will not change! 

As I have been reading in the last few chapters of Alma, and in Helaman, I have felt that there will start to be contentions with in the church, because people will feel like the church is not keeping up with "the times" just like these women that seek "equality" but do not recognize the necessity of differences between not only men and women, but all people in general. With out differences there would be no opportunities to learn from one another. 

But just like in Alma and Helaman, the Lords prophets never led the people astray! I feel like now, more then ever, its is vitally for us to cling to the words of the prophets. 

There were many great talks in this conference, Inspiration and personal Revelation come from Holy Ghost when we study the words of the Prophets.

Welp, my loved one! That is all I got for now,

LOVE!!
