Hello!
What a wonderful weekend of revelation and spiritual nourishment. If you were not able to see general conference or don't know what it is, click on this link and go watch the talk that calls your attention!

I got to talk to my family today again and it's never a dull moment with these people! Even though we were all over the world, we were still able to enjoy one another's company and laugh with eachother. One of the topics that came up was simple ways that all of us as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Christians can reach out to others to share the gospel with them. Let me offer 3 simple ways that have helped me, as a full time missionary. I believe that they are things that everyone can do, regardless of their situation.
1. Smile more. Be happy! There is so much to be happy about. We can rejoice every day, knowing that because of Jesus Christ we will be able to return to live with our Father in Heaven. As we live and love the gospel, others will want to know what brings such profound jog into our lives.
2. Be a friend. By doing so, we will open doors and start relationships that can result in the blessing of all of God's children. One of the best ways we can show our love for others is by offering service! Get out and help those in need in simple and sincere ways! "They won't care how much you know, untul they know how much you care."
3. Talk of Christ. As we fill our conversations with talk of Jesus Christ and his everlasting gospel, our ability to share truth will become second nature. Christ and his atonement deserve more of our time... and talk. As the Book of Mormon prophet, Nephi, said:
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our [children, friends, and family] may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins." (2 Nephi 25:26, pg. 100)
I love you all and am so happy I can move forward with you in building the kingdom of God! I love you all
