I love gardening...

Hiya everyone

Ohhhhh buddy did you all just love conference?!?!!! Oh my goodness the spirit was so strong in each of the words the General Authorities spoke. I had the spirit witness to me that each person who spoke and is actively serving was called by God. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true!! Just as Pres. Uchtdor put it, Heavenly Father is real!!!!! He lives and so does His Son. My favourite talks were Elder Scott's on revelation and Elder Oaks' on sacrifice. In order to obtain any blessing in this life, we must sacrifice something. We could sacrifice our will to keep the commmandments. Or, it could be to sacrifice a specific blessing that has been promised to us. I know that as we sacrifice and give everyting to the Lord, we will become like Him. He sacrificed all to give glory to the Father. We must also sacrifice to achieve glory. I am grateful for trials in my life that teach me and give me the chance to improve. It is such a wonderful time to be alive and to serve God. I dont think I have every felt the spirit so many times as I did while watching General Conference. I have been taught from on high :)

Other news for this week...we had a baptism!!! Lily was baptised on friday! It was a very spiritual service. It is so wonderful to see another one of Heavenly Father's children commit to live righteously! There were a lot of people that attended her baptism, which was really good because it helped her feel loads of support. We may have a couple more people with baptismal dates, but Im a little unsure because they dont completely comprehend what baptism really means. We will have to meet with them soon and see what their real desires are :)

We did a lot of service this week. We went to the horse stables once again since not being there for a month now. haha It was fun and they were so happy to see us! We also did some gardening for a single sister. She cooked us pizza and fries afterwards too!! mhmmm haha Mom, dont get any ideas about me enjoying to garden ahha

Yeah, i dont know what else to write about since I just emailed last wednesday haha So once again, if you didnt watch all sessions of conference, DO IT. If there is anything in you life that is holding you back from experiencing the joys of the gospel, "STOP IT" and then DO IT right. I promise you that as you align your life with the way that Heavenly Father advises us we should live, happiness and true joy will come your way.

Enjoy the week everyone!
Godbless.
-Elder Jaquish
