| San Pedro Zone Conference |
We had some great experiences this week. I feel like this point
in my mission has been one of the biggest growing moments. I have felt that in
these last few weeks I have learned things that I thought I would never learn.
I have seen and done things that I never thought I could do. I have never been
so happy. I have never had so much fun. This sector has been my growing sector.
For a long time I felt that I had hit a
plateau and that I could not increase. Getting here in this new environment,
and getting to know the people I now know has increased my learning and growth
beyond my limits. I truly feel like, at this point in my mission, everything is
clicking. It is amazing to see the growth I am having. I love it so much.
Over this last week Elder Woods and I had many spiritual experiences.
One of which happened in our Zone Conference on Tuesday. We had been thinking
for a long time how we could animate the missionaries. We decided after reading
the story of Moroni and the title of liberty, to make our own TITLE OF LIBERTY…
but CHILEAN STYLE:
12And it came to pass that he
rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it— In memory of our
God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and
he fastened it upon the end of a pole.
20Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them
come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they
will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless
them.
So
what we did was we brought in a Chilean flag with the words "In Memory of
our God, our religion, our freedom, our peace, our sectors, our zone, and our
mission."
We read each one of these scriptures and asked each mission to
come up and sign the flag symbolizing they were making a covenant with God.
That if they made this covenant, God would bless them in their work and in the
sectors.
As we testified, the Spirit
filled the room. We were in silence as each missionary came up and signed the
flag. We could finally understand what it was like for Moroni, and what it was
like for those people.
We know God will bless us if we put Him first. If we
give up our desires… HE WILL BLESS US!!
