Hello all! This has been a very exciting week in the ABM. On Tuesday we had a snow day (Yesterday it was a toasty 70 degrees. I'm not complaining) and on Saturday we all gathered at Birmingham to hear from Elder Anderson, Elder Costa, and Elder Alba. When they came in we all got to shake their hands, it was awesome! Right when I shook Elder Anderson's hand, I felt like I was zapped with this warm electric feeling. Definitely never experienced that before, but I definitely felt the power in that man :)
I'm going to just copy some of the notes I took from the conference, so here they are:
I'm happy because I know the plan of happiness!- Elder Costa
Do your best and you will be blessed forever. -Hermana Costa
Get a perspective of life on your mission- it's great, but it does end! Your life will go on. -Elder Anderson
Enduring to the end starts NOW. -Elder Anderson
Don't be too hard on yourself! You're only in a race with yourself. The only person you should compare yourself to is who you were yesterday. -Elder Anderson
It was a great conference. Elder Anderson said lots of things that touched my soul, and it was just a overall great experience. He challenged all of us to find 10 scriptures from the New Testament and 10 from the Book of Mormon that we really believed and loved, and memorize them. He promised us that as we memorized those scriptures and put them deep into our soul, they would not leave us when times get hard. He also challenged us to look at how strong our faith was in Jesus Christ, because when it comes down to it, that is all that matters. Our mission was truly blessed to have an apostle of the Lord come and speak to us!!
We have transfers this week. Lovely Sister Beck has finished her mission, so I will be getting a new companion on Wednesday here in Gardendale :) ]
I LOVE YOU ALL
Hermana Adams
