Conferencia!‏

Family!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO BOO!!! I LOVE YOU STINKER!

I just loved the general conference. Every time that we watch the conferences,

my testimony is confirmed and strengthened that we have a living prophet with

the authority to guide the church and the world. He receives revelation from our

loving Heavenly Father. The organization of the church is absolutely perfect-- the

same exact church that Christ established when he was on the earth.

I enjoyed most I believe the talk about gratitude. I realized I have so much work to do

when it comes to this attribute. Instead of working on "estando" grateful, I can work

on "siendo" grateful. I have never thought of the difference. But now, my thoughts and

goals have been so focused on becoming a grateful person rather than just being

temporarily grateful.

We were urged to share that which we are studying from Preach my Gospel (I forgot it

was called that in english) with our families during the conference. Right now, I am focusing

on studying teaching the true and pure doctrine. The spirit can´t testify if I am teaching Elder

Johnson doctrine or doctrine that I have heard from companions. So I am studying quite a lot

on knowing the commandments of God and the specific blessings that come with these 

commandments. I know that as I teach the doctrine of Christ more purely, the spirit will

be able to testify to that which I am teaching.

Not all that much has happened this week. One of the best things that happened was teaching

Synthia, Andrea´s niece. We are trying to work with the whole family to take the same steps

Andrea has taken in her life. Synthia has always been a little wishy washy about the whole

baptism subject. As Elder Fiabane and I were teaching from the scriptures, and relating them

to her life, we could see the change in Synthia as the spirit testified to her. I know that the spirit

works in the hearts of the people. Her countanance changed, and she is excited to progress

further in this gospel.

I love serving here in the office and with Elder Fiabane. It is always more enjoyable to serve

when your companion is one of your best friends!

Love you all!

Elder Johnson
