Week 69

This week on Elder Silva's mission it was sweet because we had a stake conference. We had a seventy visit us Elder Salinas. He was a really powerful speaker and he talked a little bit about obedience and said something really interesting that made me think a lot. He said that "If God were to come to this Earth, all materials like the trees, mountains, and oceans would recognize who He is immediately. If he were to tell the material to move or do something they would immediately obey! But if God would tell us, the human race, to do something we would think about it and look for ways not to obey. This may include attending church weekly, reading the scriptures daily, and daily prayer. Most of us would not obey." This really got me thinking about how much more I need to be more obedient and try to help others to be obedient. He talked a lot about the family and how it is important to have time for them and doing family home evenings. It is also important to start doing good traditions and stop doing the bad traditions that many people do such as only being a Christian on Sundays for certain hours and then doing other stuff the rest of the time . He said that we need to be real disciples of Christ, a 100%. I know that the leaders of the church are true and that they are there to help us, if we follow their advice we are going to be to be closer to our Savior Jesus Christ.
