I never knew what a storm was in the States! It storms like crazy here in Brazil! Rain that will soak you instantly, thunder that will shake your house, lighting that will light up the sky as if it were day, and wind that will blow anything away! Its crazy and awesome! I love it! It is hot here! So i appreciate it when it rains!
Zone confrence was amazing. It was kind of sad seeing a lot of people giving their final testimonies including my companion and the mission president! It is going to be sad to see them leave! But its going to be good. One of the awesome things that happend at Zone confrence was even though i can only understand a few words out of the many people speak, i could feel the Spirit so strong when people were teaching and bearing their testimonies.
I know that this is the Lords work! The Spirit is one of the greatest gifts we have! All the time we should be striving to have spiritual experiences that will strenghten ourselves and bring us closer to Christ. We need to seek out the Spirit. We need to strive to feel it in our lives. We need to feel that same feeling that we felt that made us join the church, stay in the church, accept that calling, or choose to go on a mission. It is so important to strive to feel that same feeling again, the Spirit. Without it, we will become lost and forget that very reason why we did what we did. The Spirit strenthens us, motivates us to do better, fills us with love, peace and comfort. We need the Spirit in our lives. We need to feel it again and again and again. We need to pray to have it in our lives. We need to always pray for the assurance of what we are doing is right and if this church is true. I know it is true with all my heart. I have felt the Spirit. I know its true.
-Elder Nelson
