My mission has helped me to gain a love for General Conference. The talk that I loved was from Elder Bednar. His story about the Cheetahs helped me to understand how the adversary really is in our daily lives. He will never stop trying to approach us and have us as his "next meal". He's always there, and we need to know our enemy in order to know how to not be caught in his traps. Peter M. Johnson went on to explain THE 3 D's! I thought that was awesome. He reminds me of one of my High School basketball coaches. Deception, distraction, and discouragement. Always be alert to the warning signs of the adversary. In order to be prepared we must do some spiritual tasks EVERYDAY EVERYDAY EVERYDAY or EVERYWEEK EVERYWEEK EVERYWEEK. Reading the Book of Mormon, praying everyday with real intent and with all the energy of our hearts, and going to church to partake of the sacrament. I loved this talk because it helps us to understand how we can deflect the adversaries fiery darts. This is how we can build ourselves a sure foundation! Heleman 5:12.
Well...my companion Elder Baggett had an accident this last Monday. He fractured a bone in his knee. He's doing ok and everything will heal ok, but he has to go back to the United States to get a surgery. He's going to be heading out. I don't know where I'll be in the mean time. We've had a lot a medical appointments during this last week. Elder Baggett got put into one of those X-ray machines. I've only seen that thing in movies! It makes loud repetitive noises. Please pray for my companion as he's going to be having surgery.
There wasn't much time to work in our area this week, but we were able to call Rosa Guerrero. She's one our investigators that will be baptized very soon. She watched General Conference with her family this weekend. The only thing is that she's addicted to coffee! She did really great this week though and left it for the entire week, but on Sunday she took more coffee. It's a process, but we´'re going to help her leave it.
That's what was up this week. Tengan una buena semana!
Elder Horton
