October 8, 2012 The Lord´s work is hastening. Hey Family! Wow... Conference as always is the best weekend in any given six month period on the mission. Better is you have people come with you that previously weren´t even aware that God still has prophets and apostles and 70s on the earth today. Unfortunately, this conference we only had one investigator come, that has been investigating forever, and is actually quite converted. He just needs to get divorced, which means he is still far from being baptized because it is such a difficult process here. Hermana Gutierrez and her daughter came and after the Sunday afternoon session, I asked her how she liked it, and she very animatedly said it was absolutely beautiful, and that she loved it. I was happy. Conference really was a wonderful experience and as I sat listening to the words of modern day prophets and apostles and righteous exemplary women, I couldn´t help but think, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." I felt an excitement and an emotional stirring several times during the talks that never before had I felt due to different announcements and other phrases I felt were just for me. I felt something similar to what one feels right before the big drop on the roller coaster, when you are almost paused at the top, looking at the huge fall in front of you when Elder Holland said during the press conference that the Lord´s work is hastening. I appreciate the way that regardless of who you are or where you are or what you are doing with your life, you can recieve mounds of personal guidance at Conference. The Lord is truly the God of gods because He knows what every mortal living here on earth needs to know and manages to give it to us precept upon precept every six months, but in only a cumulitive 12 hours of talks, music and prayers. The hymns were great were they not? This week went well. We found out today transfers and Elder Larsen and I are staying together in Rodeo del Medio for another transfer. I am very excited. We still have people we need to find together and I am grateful for the loving way that he dedicates himself to the work and helps me to push myself in a similar way. I hope to become more like him. I felt kind of like President Eyring in the sense that God is LETTING me stay in Rodeo for one more transfer. I honestly was somewhat looking forward to another area, or province and after the call came telling me I would be in Rodeo for another 6 weeks, a total of 24 weeks or almost 6 months, the feeling of......okaaaayyy....... came into my mind and heart and almost instantly I felt the words of the living prophet seer and revelator come to mind, and really the words of our Heavenly Father come in and penetrate saying, "I will LET you stay in Rodeo another transfer at least." How grateful I am for a loving and mindful Father. I hope that these next six weeks I can keep trying to put it all down and straightaway follow the Lord into the lives and hearts of my brothers and sisters here in Rodeo. I have so much I could say about conference, how I feel, what I saw or heard, and everything else.... I hope you all are doing well. I am SO excited to be close enough to hang out with R and Hope when I get back! I love you guys. Elder Daybell!
