WOW!!! :) CONFERENCE!!!‏ October 7, 2015

I just feel like a Little boy on Christmas day. I love GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! :) I don´t know why but it just FILLS ME UP!!! Haha Anyways I have some interesting news... I am now Zone Leader. I don´t know why I mean I just barely was District Leader. But I am excited about this because I am with another ZL named Elder PEREZ and HE IS AWESOME!!! :D We get along sooooo well. And I am in a place called Huasteca. It is the same zone I was in like 4 changes ago. Just a different área. So ya. :) I am pretty excited to just be JALANDO COMO LOCO!!! WOOT WOOT! Man it is soooo great. To be with this guy! :) All I can say is that the Lord knows our limits. Haha But things are good. The Lord is blessing us and I just love this opportunity to get closer to him. So I just wanted to share some impressions of General Conference. I loved ALL OF THE TALKS!! So many things to put into practice and change. It is so great. But I obviously went to conference with a question. And it was answered in a very interesting way. It was not really what was said. But what they said made me think of something. :) My question was the following. I have seen many great missionaries kind of die at the end of their misión. Or get tired. They were super great but I don´t know what happened. But maybe their excitment died off. And that scared me a Little bit. These great missionaries. Anyways my question was how can I avoid that? How can I continue ALWAYS do what the Lord wants me to do? with Energy and a whole heart. :) And it came through President Monson´s talk. And David A Bednar´s talk. It came to me. How is it that this man. Thomas S Monson can dedícate. His WHOLE LIFE energetically,constantly serving without getting tired, or better yet, Lazy. Here we are sometimes battling with feelings of wanting to be lazy. And this opportunity or misión is only two years. I realized in this moment that our leaders don´t run off of energy. It is something else. I believe it is faith, maybe love. Watching President Thomas S Monson in his talk battling with strength. And STILL Serving the Lord with all of his Might, mind, and strength. His example gives me the courage. And the motivation to press on and FIND what it is that keeps them going. I love the Lord. I have a testimony of this great work. But I still feel like I need to find more to be able to do what the Lord desires of me. All the way! I need to get closer to the Saviour. And I invite everybody to do the same. I know that is obviously what we are trying to do. But have that in mind. I know that this church is true! I love you guys! Thanks for your support and love! Have a great week. :D Elder Slade :)
