It's all about the family!

 Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

First of all I tried to send an email last week but the internet here is horrible, so it didn't go through.

We had a really good week, we contacted and invited the whole world to General conference this weekend, it was actually really cool to talk about the prophet and the importance of his call for the whole week. Nothing really compares to conference in the mission, it is such a comforting and powerful spirit to listen to the Prophets and apostles of God speak to us. One of my favorite scriptures is the one mentioned above, Ephesians 2:20.

I felt the reality of this scripture this weekend, the foundation of the authority of our Father in Heaven given to these men whose counsel is the counsel of our Heavenly Father for His children, I never really felt the power that these men have, the authority they have in the priesthood and the power of their testimonies until I got in the mission - and every conference in the mission I can feel it more. They are not just our leaders, they are ordained of God, servants and even friends of Jesus Christ. I see a lot of decay both in the world and in the church here in Mexico. Its so empowering to see that the church will not fall, for Christ Himself is our principal leader and His servants, the prophets, guides that will not lead us astray.

The central message of the conference for me - IT IS ALL ABOUT THE FAMILY - the gospel, the plan of salvation, the priesthood, covenants,  the church, the Atonement, everything is about the family. If we aren't focusing on the family as young men, as missionaries, return missionaries, leaders of the church, in everything we do really, then were missing the point haha. The covenants and the power God as given us in His church is for no other purpose than for the Exaltation of His children, something that can not be gained without the family. I love conference in the mission and hope it will be as good when I come home.   

We had 3 investigators show up to the conference, haha invited like 50 but hey 3 is better than 0. They all had a really good experience and we will be inviting them to be baptized this week, if the testimony of the Spirit through living prophets cant help them see the importance of baptism, I don't really know what will.... I really have had a good week.
