This week we had Zone Conferences! We had our own, and then sister Hortal and I went to the conference for Corpus, and then tomorrow we're going to the one for Laredo. I think that's one of my most favorite things about this calling is being able to go to all of the different areas and hear the meetings lots of times - I think God knows that if I hear things 2 and 3 and 4 times I'll finally get it. :)
The theme was a lot about love, and doing things for the right reason. President Maluenda talked a lot about where our focus is, and he shared the scripture in John about when the disciples are on the Sea of Tiberious, and how he asked Peter "lovest thou me?"
There's a talk by Elder Holland that describes it really well (the first great commandment), but he said that it's so important to remember that even when he's not there (or we're not being guided through every step by leaders) that we have to choose where our treasure is. Peter didn't know what to do, so he went back to Fishing, and the Lord had to remind him that is he REALLY loved Christ, he would be taking care of his children, not fishing. It's pretty humbling that we get to be a part of "feeding His sheep!" I think it's making more and more sense to me, especially as it gets closer to an end. I'm SO grateful for every day and the opportunity to keep learning and serving :)
Love you all!
