Stake Conference

Hey there!

Dad tells me that you´re all ponderizing.  I started last week with 2 Nephi 2:27 which is all about agency.  I have one in the book of Abraham this week, but I don´t remember the reference, it was something that President Riggins showed us the other week and I wanted to study it a little more.  I´ll let you know about it next week.

This week was the Stake Conference here in La Estaca Duran Norte.  They changed out the stake presidency which was cool because an Area Authority came.

Elder Christopher Waddell of the Area Seventy came to interview the new stake president and to speak in the sessions.  He´s the first counselor del área Sudamérica Noroeste, he´s been living in Lima Peru for four years for his calling, but he told us that this was his last Stake Conference in the Area because he is going to be put into the Presiding Bishopric -I´m not too sure if that´s a secret or not -but he told us, so... no es culpa!

He talked to us about the sabbath day.  He said that the twelve apostles and the first presidency all prayed in the temple before awhile back and asked the lord what the church needed to do to progress.  All of them received the impression that if the church would progress, we need to observe the sabbath day. It was pretty interesting to think about.  Are we observing the sabbath day as we should?
The answer is personal for every one of us.

With the stake conference and things we had a pretty cool week, I didn´t get changed out on the last transfer cycle so I´ll be hanging out here in Duran for the next month or so.

...Yeah, I´m pretty sure that´s all I have to say.  I hope all is well back home!  Enjoy fall break, I´ll be here... in the heat and humidity. (I miss seasons)

-Love, Cameron
