Wasn't General Conference just wonderful?! I loved it so much! And it was great to get to hear it in English. haha. This weekend was crazy because we were trying like crazy to bring people to the different sessions of conference. I felt like I rode my bike to Pinetop again. :) My legs were wet noodles at the end of the day. haha. But the conference was great. I think my favorite talk was by the Sister from the young woman's presidency about true conversion. It is always a question that I am asking myself. Am I truly converted? Will something come along in life to knock me off the path? I sure hope not but it is hard to be sure. But she taught a lot of great stuff about how to become converted and what are the signs of conversion. They also talked a lot about missionary work and the members....hint hint. haha. It was not a very subtle message at all. We all have to step up to the plate. We brought investigators to the Sunday morning session. We walked in a little late just in time to hear the firm rebuke of Elder Oaks about the law of chastity.....our investigator is a mother with three teenagers that is not married. gulp. I just prayed that the spirit was there confirming the importance of the doctrine. Later that day we visited this sister and her three sons and the thirteen year old asked us right out if what his parents are doing is a sin......umm Yesssss! haha Oh the fun situations that a missionary finds herself in! Oh, many people have asked so I should probably clarify. My p day is still on Monday but we write home on Tuesday or Wednesday. We have to be together with our zone to write so each week when we travel to Belize City for zone meetings we write home right afterward. We as missionaries are a lot more spread out here in Belize than we were in El Salvador. It makes for a lot more time and money spent on buses. Tomorrow we have zone conferences in San Ignacio. We have to catch a bus at 4am in order to get there in time. yikes! I will probably be studying the back of my eyelids during zone conference. ha! Well I better go. I love you all. Thank you for all the birthday cheer that I have already received. Take care! Hermana Heap
