Hey Guys,
This week was amazing!!
Ya ok a lot of it had to do with the fact that it was General
Conference and the spirit about lifted me off the ground, but still what
a week!!! We worked super hard this week because we knew that we
weren't going to work basically at all when the weekend came!! We gave
it anything we had and ended up with 30 lessons in 3 days!! We received
so much help from the Lord this week!! We had more amazing lessons with
Romina who is now on page 50 of the Book of Mormon. She even marks
scriptures she likes or underlines words she doesn't understand, its
AWESOME!! We were praying super hard to be able to have a good week so
that the spirit could carry us strong into Conference and boy was that
prayer answered!!! Conference was something that I have never
anticipated more!! Something about being on the mission has made simple
truths so much more meaningful to me, like the fact that we have a
living Prophet today. We get the chance to listen to a man that talks
with God and Jesus Christ. As M. Russell Ballard stated, The leaders of
the church will not, and cannot lead us astray. As I sat and listened
to these men, I wondered if the investigators or even members really
understood what it means to have a living Prophet. Then it dawned on
me. That's MY job. As a missionary, it is my job to help others
understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and living Prophets are a part of
this Gospel. I left Conference so uplifted and spiritually fed it was
amazing!! This letter isn't very long but i want all of you to know
that I have a testimony of this Gospel, and conference was an awesome
strengthening force to that testimony. I encourage each of you to read
and reread all of the talks from Conference and apply what we learn. By
doing so i promise you as a set apart representative of Jesus Christ,
your testimony and relationship with God the Father and his son Jesus
Christ will grow more than you can imagine. I want to leave you with
one of my favorite quotes from General Conference, "The Lord will never
make anything out of us that we do not CHOOSE to become." I hope and
pray that each of us can choose this day to serve the Lord and he will
truly help us become who he wants us to be!! (Reading back I think I
just gave my own conference talk.) I love you all so much and pray for
you always!!!Stay safe!
Elder Ollerton
