Week 33!! General Conference!!

YO YO YO what is going on family, friends, awkward guy in the back! Well week 33 is in the books!! It flew by really fast lets see what I can remember here..

Last Sunday after giving Hermano Jimenez a blessing, he passed away. He was a really positive person with a lot of heart even though his body slowly faded. I will always remember how genuinely he would say “I’m doing better Elders. Thank you for asking. And thank you so much for coming here. It is always a privilege.” He was a great man.

This week Elder Macrum and I got to go to Broomall for retraining! It was great to see Elder Brown (my companion from the MTC) and the other trainers and trainees. On Thursday, we went to the funeral to support the family and show our gratitude. It was a beautiful service and there probably were 200 people there! Everyone seemed to have a lot of faith that one day they could see him again. Afterward my companion and I were able to have a conversation with a woman that had just returned from a two week service trip to Mexico. We are going to meet with her later this week to discuss how we can serve the family of Hermano Jimenez.

This weekend we had the opportunity of watching general conference! General Conference is a program that happens twice a year, and it is an opportunity for us to listen to the Prophet and the Apostles! I love listening to them teach about Jesus Christ and testifying that His Church is on the Earth again. They know the trials in our day and give us counsel on how we can stay firm in a world of change and growing sin.

I love you all so much! I hope you all have a great week! I am so grateful for your support, and I pray for you each night. I know that God with bless you if you act in faith. I know that Jesus Christ really is the Son of God and I am honored to be one of his servants.
