I wrote down 6 questions before conference started, and every question was answered. It seemed as thought those who were chosen to speak gave their talks based on my needs. I loved Elder Ian Ardern of the seventy who talked about planning and using our time effectively. He said how time flies on the wings of lightening and I am feeling that as I only have 8 months left to serve here in São Paulo. I watched the first session in Portuguese but the rest in English. I loved watching the children sing in the second session. I'm sure the woman who worked with them told them a million times not to look at the camera's, but it was so very cute to me to see them glance, realize they were on the screen, and see their various reactions. Some got nervous and smiled embarrassed. Some stopped and got serious. My favorite was a little girl who stopped singing, as it seemed like she recognized someone on the screen, and when she began seeing again she got a really excited face because it confirmed to her that it really was her singing. The music was beautiful. I love when it is just the voices, without the organ. I remember singing in the conference center, and ending a note in unison, and hearing the sound go to the back of the room like a powerful wave.
Elder Godoy came to our mission a few weeks ago, and he said that when you are working hard, and not seeing the results, that your blessings are going home. I will do my best to be proactive and worthy in my service. I love our family. I love God. I will do my best everyday. I hope that you can be blessed by the Lord to recognize any blessings He sees fit to give you because of my service. Know I love you and am praying for you daily.
Love your son, Spencer
