Hello all, I'm in San Jose again for zone conference, and we all had the privilege to spend our pday with President Koster today at a beach resort! haha yeah it was bitter sweet because it literally felt like i was in Hawaii- but i couldnt swim. sayong talaga

so no pics-- sorry peeps ily

Hope you all enjoyed general conference this past weekend, if not, go watch it!! I havent been able to watch it yet because of the time difference, so im stoked for this upcoming weekend. 

I read a popular general conf talk by elder Holland again this past week and LOVED it. Being on a mission, I was able to read it at a whole new perspective. One of my fav parts says 

Please remember tomorrow, and all the days after that, that the Lord blesses those who want to improve, who accept the need for commandments and try to keep them, who cherish Christlike virtues and strive to the best of their ability to acquire them. If you stumble in that pursuit, so does everyone; the Savior is there to help you keep going. If you fall, summon His strength. Call out like Alma, “O Jesus, … have mercy on me.”7 He will help you get back up. He will help you repent, repair, fix whatever you have to fix, and keep going. Soon enough you will have the success you seek.  

This church is seriously sooo true. This gospel is true. The Book of Mormon is true. And if you really let the spirit testify these things to you, you will come to know all of this too!!! 

i love you guys, thank you for everything and all the support
