I always learn a lot in conference

This week has had its ups and downs. Emiliano, a child from a different area that (due to complications) we ended up teaching, was baptized on Tuesday. He´s a good kid, and has a lot of youth left.

The down would be that right about the time of the baptism, my companion got very sick to his stomach. He ended up spending 2 days in the bathroom and I read the scriptures, ate pizza, and tried to be a little productive. I did manage to finish the Book of Mormon again (in Spanish this time) and clean up the area book a little.

We made an agreement with an investigator who went to church last week that if she came with us, we would go with her, so we went to visit Catholic Mass on Thursday. I won`t write any of the details, but there was worshipping of a little doll and blessing bottles of water involved, and I didn`t feel very good.

The one day we could work very well, we managed to have a great lesson with an investigator named Ramón who is reading the Book of Mormon from cover to cover and is very studied in the bible. He also went to conference on Saturday, met people he knew, and loved it. We also found a new investigator (a teen who isn`t living with his family) who came with his girlfriend to conference as well.

I always learn a lot in conference, and I`m learning even more from who the leaders of the church are then what they say. They`re such good examples of what we already know we should be doing. It`s something I`ve been thinking about since Elder Bednar´s visit. I listened to about 50% in English and the other half in Spanish, depending on if there were investigators there in the sessions.

Still no new house, but we`re working on it. There are a lot more options now, but we`re not sure we can leave this month. I hope so, but we´ll see.

Pray, read your scriptures, and go to church. That will always be the most fundamental.

Take care, and much love,
Elder Lund
