Week #32

CONFERENCE IN GHANA

What an outstanding week! lots offf fun memories and good spiritually uplifting moments this week, especially with conference going on!!! my second conference in assin fosu was even better this time cause i was able to watch and 3 of sessions and one of my apparment companions is from kenya, and kenya is getting a TEMPLE!!! sooo stoked!!!

well monday i went to the barber to get a small hair cut and i told him just do the "shape"... but what he heard is give me a "shave" ........ brother and sisters, ladies and gentlemen i have never, EVER had a more painful shave in my life!!!. hahahah the dadi used the clippers they use to cut like hair on the head and then a straight blade..... my face hurt for like 2 days hahahah but hey i didnt shave that morning so maybe it was God giving me a little chastisement through the hands of my barber hahahha lesson learned!

well what i want to share this week is a talk given in the saturday afternoon session in general conference by Gary B. Sabin. first off, that guy is sooo funny! haha second he gave one of the most amazing talks i have ever heard in my life. he talked about how giving a half heart effort or just doing enough to get by on a task we have before us will never be enough. he said the best way for us to show the lord that we are all in, is we must Stand up inside first. we have to have a commitment inside our self that we will never back down even for a moment, and when someone knocks us down or some challenge is before us we have to get right back up. 

his final instruction was in order for us to stand up all the way inside ourselves we might need to let go of the world and hang onto eternity, DONT FEAR MAN, JUST LIVE RIGHT. what an inspired talk i felt like was just for me. on mission you dont get a grade and here in ghana no one will correct you for anything you do wrong BUT God is always watching and not just watching our actions but our heart.

JUST LIVE RIGHT!!

love you all!
