Week 7 - 10/04/17 - Group Email

Hello everyone! Only 12 more days till I go to Nihon! Hope you all had a chance to watch some of conference. It was really nice to watch it from the MTC, I hate to admit but it was my first time watching every session so that was cool.

The three talks I liked the most were 
1. Elder Callister's from Sunday afternoon - He talked about the Book of Mormon and escentially brought up every argument people may have to disprove it, then gave a logical reason of why those arguents are wrong. You can argue either way about the truth of the Book of Mormon but only good can come from choosing to believe it, and the possibilty of Joseph Smith writing that book on his own with the writing skills he had is extremely unlikely. 

2. Elder Uchdorf's from Prieshood - He talked about the light of Christ. I liked the anology he used about how even at nighttime the sun is still there and it's light is still shining. But since the earth is in the way it appears dark. Christ's light will always be there but in our current world Satan is constantly trying to cast a shadow over the light, so we just need to always seek the light! I liked how he said as disciples of Christ (missionaries) we constantly have that light with us and our mission is to share it with the world.

3. Elder Nelson's from Saturday afternoon - He also talked about the Book of Mormon. I liked the story he shared about the king in Ghana who he was able to shared a Book of Mormon with. The king loved the bible and when he received this Book of Mormon he said it was better than receiving "diamonds or rubies". He then asked us to think how different our lives would be if we didn't have the Book of Mormon and that we shouldn't take it granted because so many people don't have it in their lives. 

Random side note: My comp is way ticklish so every night all the guys in my room pin him down and tickle the crap out of him, it's hilarious!
