Stumbling Block

Hello blokes! This week was way good. some highlights:

1. Zone Conference with Elder McConkie and Sister McConkie and some other reuniones with them. They both speak so well and bring the spirit wherever they go. We talked about turning "stumbling blocks" into "stepping stones" in other words, turning opposition into opportunity and the key to doing so is a change of perspective. I have been focusing on changing my perspective on the little/big things every day with the goal of always being happy, easier said than done but ima try to do it like Dylan Kitt. 

2. We had Stake Conference on Sunday at the church next to the temple in Madrid. It was also very good, and a little sad because 4/6 speakers spoke in English and had a translator. I am grateful for English. A fire talk was given about covenants and ordinances. A covenant is an alliance between us and God and an ordinance is a physical representation of that. Ex: baptism. Covenant: keep commandments, serve others, take the name of Christ upon us, and endure to the end. Ordinance: go underwater then back up again. BUT the cool part comes now. In Italian the word covenant is alliance. In French, the word for a wedding ring is also alliance. When we covenant to Heavenly Father we are making an alliance, and temple marriage is another example! wordplay is my favorite

3. I am kinda sick

4. I am going to Real Madrid soccer game tomorrow!

5. We are teaching some cool people!

6. The Kingdom of God is on the earth and it's The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

My dad sent me this picture of their stake missionary board.  So fun to see Cooper and my pictures up there together!
