Hey Everyone!!
This week was honestly an incredible
week full of miracles that many times I felt like I didnt deserve. I
feel very blessed to be a part of this amazing work that the Lord has
allowed us to be a part of because He loves us and wants us to grow to
be like Him.
We are working with several families and we had the amazing
opportunity to have all of them at General Conference to feel the Holy
Spirit and to receive revelations for their own lives. I am a simple
witness that President Nelson is the chosen Prophet of the Lord and that
he is guided. I know that this is all so so true. I do not know
everything, at times I feel like I dont even know enough, but like
Nephi, I know that God loveth His children even if I do not know
the meaning of all things.
But what do I know?
I know that I can feel the simple warmth of the Spirit when I do good acts and try to be more like the Savior. This
is our task in life. This is our purpose. To try.
Why do we have
scriptures, and prayer, and the sacrament, and families, and even
General Conference? So that we can be motivated to and find new ways to
be more like our Savior Jesus Christ. To return to Him and the presence
of our Heavenly Parents. Forever.
I believe that families are eternal, that God answers our prayers, and that it is not always easy, but always possible.
I
loved conference simply because of the Spirit that I was able to feel. I
know that I, or anyone else who wants to feel that same Spirit again,
will be able to if we are a little more humble and sacrifice a little
bit of our will to read these incredible talks. Because the only
sacrifice that we can truly give the Lord, is the sacrifice of our will
to do His.
I love you all. I am praying always. Love the Lord, and trust in Him more than you trust in you!
Love,
Elder Allen
