Chill General Conference Session with Pres. & Hna. Isom!

Hey mother how are you doing this fine rainy (here in Chile) Monday afternoon???:) Well on the things here in Chile, they are going awesome!!:) Yeah that lesson with President Isom was really cool, and Alfredo continues to progress. He wants to get married and baptized!!:) but he is going to wait until December because the visa of his girlfriend and he wants for his parents to be here!:) Also Hna Maria is doing really well. She came to both the sessions on Sunday and she is going to set her baptism date this week!:)

Also we had intercambios (exchanges) with the elders in Ecuador (Chile, not the country) and it was so sick. I was with Elder Gardner from Idaho and we found a new investigator and taught a few bomb lessons on the gospel of Jesus Christ!:) Then Elder Arizmendi and Elder Bertolio in our sector found 2 new people as well (Ricardo and his son). So we will see how it goes with them. Also a menos active we have been working with came to conference and brought his grandson (Vicente) who started listening to us recently!!:) Then there was General Conference and it was so bomb!! haha I loved so many of those talks. They were just so powerful. From Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk on how the Lord will use us. Elder Oaks’ talk on the Family Proclamation, Jeffrey R. Holland with "toxic perfectionism", then not to mention Tad R. Callister destroying disbelievers of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. It was just great!:)

"Love without service is like Faith without works, its DEAD."
-Josè L. Alonso

"Our faith prepares us to be in the presence of God."
This second one was from Elder Hales, quoted by Elder Anderson. I know Elder Hales was ready to meet God because of his immense faith he had in our Lord and Savior. Through this he upgraded from this earthly life.:)

Man your last week sounds sooo crazy!! That’s so crazy to think that Chad is already out there in Mexico in the CCM! That is so cool. I’ll have to wait and see if I get an email from him this week!!:) but man that’s crazy to think that he is gone. I’m glad that you didn’t cry too much mom ;). Also sounds like your general conference was pretty sick as well!! I’m glad that all the fam was out there and how cool you could celebrate Jamie’s birthday with her!:) That is funny about those 2 quotes, those are 2 of my favorite quotes from the conference that you shared!:)
(- Heavenly Father uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things - John C. Pingree
- Heavenly Father puts us in locations with specific intentions in mind - Ronald A. Rasband)

I have seen that happen so many times. The Lord will use us if we are ready...:) Also he puts us right in the place where we need to be to do what He needs done:) So thank you for those momma!

Well thank you for the email and I’m glad all is going well. I hope this week is awesome as well!:) Love you to infinity and beyond momma talk to you soon!

Love,
Shawners
