Hello to everyone!!
Yes, you were very right conference was great! I really enjoyed it. There were some really great talks. Elder Bednar was way good, and he used some of the same tone that he did when he was with us! Elder Anderson was talking right to me. I had some questions that I went to conference with, and he answered them quite directly. I am really jealous of all of you, cause you got to see Elder Holland (my fav) and I didn’t. I will have to wait until I get the issue, or maybe I can print it out today. It was a really amazing experience though. I have really gained a great love for conference, and I am looking forward to it for the rest of my life. I really gained a lot from this conference, and I think that I gained a lot for the remainder of my life as well, especially when I have children. There was some amazing council given.
So something really crazy happened on Sunday during conference. There was a serious threat made on the Liverpool stake center and all the members there on Sunday morning. All the high council was on security and there was some high tension. Some people didn’t come because of it. It was kinda scary, but cool at the same time. I knew that nothing was going to happen cause the Lord was on our side, but it was still a bit scary. Nothing ever happened, and we found out later that is was just some disgruntled ex-member that was trying to cause trouble. Satan tries so hard, but yet he really never gets anywhere with faithful and righteous members does he.
The work has been hard these past few weeks, and I have finally found out why. I have not been humble. I did a huge study on humility and pride today, and realised that I have been prideful, and that is why things are not working. Last time a trained I was on my knees all the time pleading for help. I haven’t given E. Boahene the training that he needs and I feel horrible about that. There is a mighty change in store for me this week, and into the next weeks as we press on. I have been humbled and I am humbling myself a lot, and I know that things are going to change around. They have to, or else I am not going to survive! I am doing ok, I am happy, but I know that I can do much better and be much happier! There is nothing holding me back but myself. I don’t want to dwell on it too much, but I just wanted to let you know that some extra prayers for me would be nice. I really just need to go and do what the Lord needs me to, and nothing else!
I am really excited to go back to Blackburn this week. I will send you some good pictures next week for sure! I am really excited to see everyone, and I am really excited for Jenna and Karen. They are doing so well so I hear. I am going to be talking E. Llaguno on Thursday at zone conference, but everything should still be good! I heard that they went and got their dresses for the baptism and also for the temple…. They are planning ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are going to Liverpool today to play some sports with the rest of the zone. I am way excited cause David Perley sent me a proper ultimate Frisbee disc!!!! I am way ready to go and play some good ultimate. I really haven’t played my whole mission.
Anyways I am glad that all is well at home. It is starting to cool down here quite a bit as well. It reminds me of home!
I love all of you! I know that this church is true. The gospel has blessed me so much, and it will continue to do so for the rest of my life!!!
Love,
Elder Neal
