The One Where Elder Holland Dropped A Spiritual Bomb

WOW. So so so many spiritual experiences this week. So to start off...we were spoken to by Niel L. Andersen (obviously from the 12), Bro. and Sis. Pingrid (from the 70), and Jeffery R. Holland (of the freakin 12!!!!) and then we watched an MTC talk from Elder Bednar (also from the 12). I also went to the temple today and it was super cool because i chose to do the whole thing in spanish, they gave us the option to have translators but i wanted to do it without one because i wanted to see how much I could understand (which was only like 45% but it was still cool) I even did all the talking parts in Spanish too...it´s crazy to think that I´ll have gone though the temple more times in spanish than english when i come home off the mission haha.


From Niel L. Andersen (talking about repentance):
-there is no one who can teach the atonement better than one who has experienced it´s healing power
-the lord does not expect us to be perfect, but to constantly be trying to be increasingly pure
-when we choose to repent we choose to change and become more like christ
-don´t think that the lord will not help you because he will
-the lord will always be blessing you whether you realize it or not

Sis Pingrid: 
-life is good, life in serving the lord is good, life is beautiful

Bro. Pingrid: 
-understand and appreciate what the savior has done for you 

ELDER HOLLAND (about the experience of being a missionary)
-however much you know about church or about being a missionary, you have NO IDEA what lies ahead
-immerse yourself in the service of god because he is the one who made it possible for you to be here
-serve with all your heart so that noting can make you believe anything other than that the gospel is true
-service should mean everything to you
-be in it 100% of the time
-love the tough times as much as the good
-do it god´s way or your way but gods way is the right way
-poem:  Come to the edge he said, no we´ll fall. Come to the edge he said, no we´ll fall. COME to the edge he said, and so we came. and when we came, he pushed us, and we flew.
-"remember for the rest of your life that you heard me say this: THIS is God´s very truth"

Funny moments: so i got asked why i never eat the ice cream in the comidor which is because dairy makes me feel super sick and elder hunter with his bright self decided i had a "lactation problem" and it´s hilarious because well...I dont have kids hahaha pero esta bien
