So conference was definitelly a highlight. I learned so much and it is so strange how much faster conference goes by out in the mission field. like 8 hours dissapeared in like twenty seconds. We're kinda just crunchin' hard down here working in the colonies. Lots of fun.
So a little more in depth. Conference...
I and all the other American missionaries watched in English in the mission office which was the best. A common theme that I noticed from almost all the talks was that of true discipleship. When we follow the commandments of God, love everyone, and share His gospel, we are being true disciples of Jesus Christ and we experience True Joy. Joy that can't be found in this world and is worth so much that the Lord created this world and everything else with that Joy in mind. "Men are that they might have Joy" 2 Nephi 2:25. Hope that all of you also were able to watch general conference and that you might go back and rewatch/listen to the talks that were given in preparation for next conference.
Funny story, Today we like deep cleaned the house for the first time since the creation and it was kinda magical to see the change. One of the other Elders bought a bottle of Muriatic acid from the gas station and we kinda just destroyed the bathroom with that. It was like one of those Mr. Clean commercials where one swipe and it's a completely different color, but like every where. Our Golden fixtures, faucets and drains are really shiny now. also turns out that they weren't golden, rather silver. Our sink and toilet are also bearable to look at now so life is gonna be a lot better in my 700 sq ft home.
Update on the work, We taught some lessons this week and Jorge, Maite, and Jose Luis didn't go to church which was a bummer but Johan did so that was good. I had him write his testimony down during sacrament meeting and hopefully he shares that with his family at home. I also got to teach him a little piano after church so he enjoyed that thoroughly.
Hope all is going well at home.
Love all y'all lots,
Elder Bailey
