WOW!
Were you all watching General Conference?? I was! What an
incredible and historical event in the history of the church! I feel privileged
to be a member of the Lord’s true church and to be able to manifest my support
for Russell M. Nelson, the Lord’s newly-called prophet. (http://www.lds.org
<- GO HERE if you weren’t watching to see how a new prophet was presented
and sustained by the ENTIRE church membership!)
TESTIMONIO: There are so many new LECCIONES DE LA SEMANA
that I could share with you all after hearing the messages in the Saturday
sessions of the General Conference, but for now, I would like to share with you
a personal testimony. Not for the first time, I arrived to this year’s annual
general conference with a list of questions written in my journal. In the VERY
FIRST SESSION, I received answers to ALL of my questions, and in the second
session, those answers were deepened and expanded by other speakers.
The Lord, through the power of the Holy Ghost, can reach
the hearts of all His children individually during this important and special
time. What will matter most, however, is what we DO with these messages: where
we take them, what we apply from them, who we share them with. THAT is what
will fill us with the Spirit continually until we can hear the voices of our
church leaders once again in October. That is my invitation to all of you -
that you apply and share and exemplify these messages EVERY DAY!

This week, PAMELA got baptized!! It was a rocky road,
including having to encourage her with Pres. and Sister Reynoso to overcome her
fear of water, but I was SO HAPPY when she finally made the decision to go
through with it! In her prayer, she asked God to keep anything from getting in
the way of her baptism because it was the deepest desire of her heart.
In order to invite more people to the conference, we made
a "committment list" and had a bunch of members sign, vowing to
invite at least one non-member friend to attend the conference. To make it even
better, we put it at the beginning of the food-line in a ward activity. If they
didn’t take the challenge, there was no food!! BWAHAHA!!
Lots of other things happened too, but time’s just about
up. Thanks for tuning in!
Love you all!
Elder Carson
