Listen to the Prophet

Hey Familia, gostaram da conferencia??
[enjoyed the conference?]
Well, this week was a blur. It was seriously the fastest week of my mission, but it was one of the best as well. It started out with 3 days of training in Vitoria. The most amazing trainings ever. They made me realize how much more I could be doing to better receive the blessings of missionary work. But it's good to know, because I can start practicing.
When we came back, then we had conference. This conference was good. But it was a different conference. If you guys paid attention you could see that almost everyone that talked, talked about agency and obeying the Prophet. It was a "strait to the point" conference. It wasn't anything with sugar on it. Obey the Prophet and be happy, disobey and suffer. It's kinda a bummer to think that a lot of the Saints aren't listening to the prophet. :( But it's a great thing that they were called out on it. We watched conference with the zone, so that was cool. I took some really cool pictures that I'll get to you guys. It's a bummer to think that the next time I see the Prophet and the Apostolos I'll be on my last transfer. :( My mission is going by so fast. haha That's why I gotta make the best of it every day. I also loved the talks about the power of the Holy Ghost and how we need to qualify ourselves for the company of the Holy Spirit. That nothing will happen if we aren't being guided and molded by the Spirit. I also learned that I need to be a little bit more humble and that I need to slow down and take a chill pill sometimes. But things are great the mission is really taking off and things are really looking up from here. How did you guys feel about conference? Anything stand out to you guys? I basically liked how honest the prophets were. I get more out of honesty than other stuff.
This week is another traveling week. I'm actually going back to Vitoria tomorrow for another training but I'll be coming back the same day. I have a cool phrase that President gave me that I'm gonna share with ya guys.

"Decida o que você quer ser, então pague o preço para ser o que você quer ser.”

It's a really good quotes that says, choose who you wanna be and make the sacrifice to be that person.
We don't grow with out sacrifices, through our trials we are blessed because we trust in our Heavenly Father.

I'm starting on my Christmas list and I'll get it to you next week. :)
Love ya,
Zack
