So much happened this week, and so little of it was working in our area like we needed to.
On Tuesday we helped the 30 missionaries in our zone get vaccinated against rabies and the flu. We had to leave that early to go help another missionary with Dengue Fever navigate the hospital system. On Wednesday we went back to the hospital with the same missionary, then we waited most of the day to have interviews with the Mission President. We visited with other missionaries and leaders throughout the day. Elder Eyre and I then had a 3-hour bus ride to the mission offices in Salta for a series of leadership meetings. Thursday we attended our meetings in the morning then came back to Jujuy. We were able to work all day Friday and for only a couple of hours on Saturday and Sunday because of General Conference.
General Conference happens twice a year and is the opportunity that we have to listen to the prophet, apostles, and other leaders of the church share messages about Jesus Christ. The common theme that stuck out the most to me from all of the messages is that we are all beloved children of a Heavenly Father who wants us to strengthen our relationship with him and return to live with him. I think I noticed it so much because it is the basic message of the gospel that I am here sharing with the people of Argentina.
I know that every single one of us is a son or daughter of a loving Heavenly Father who wants to have a relationship with us.
