Love Zone Conferences! Will
also admit that I loved the hot showers at the hotel in Coban while
we were there! One of the classes was on how we teach with questions
and an Elder presented a good question: “What would we have Christ
help us with in our life?” Then of course since prayer is not just
about asking, but about change and growth - what are we willing to
do to change? The conferences were a much needed lift after having
experienced a death and a funeral, and knowing of at least three more
in the same weekend.
Our District here in
Senahu sang for one of the conferences and I played for them and
helped the sisters, since there are only two sisters here plus me and
8 elders. My throat was bothering me the day of the practice and I
was a little bit concerned. Felt it a miracle that my voice did
fine, but within an hour of leaving the conference I started coughing
and lost my voice! The conferences were wonderful and also hard,
knowing that it was the last conferences with President and Sister
Watts. Our mission divides next weekend and we will be in the new
Coban mission with President and Sister Curtiss. The Gospel is
spreading and it is a marvelous privilege to be part of the Lord's
work.
I am now learning the gift
of silence due to my laryngitis. My wonderful neighbor brought me up
lemons today from her tree when she found I didn't have any. I love
the friendships we are making here and the hugs and joy we share with
these amazing people.
We were very blessed to get
back up the mountain on the way back from Coban, there was a mud
slide across the road that they had just gotten moved enough for us
to get through. We heard this evening that another one had happened
last night and closed the road back up again. Guess it is okay we
stayed here today with me not having any voice!
