Another Week Nov. 21st

Well this week was good, and Saturday was great!

So yes saturday was our big meeting with our apostal. and he came with three surprise quests also. But who were the four people you ask.,

The three surprise quests were:

Elder Mario Carlos, i think he from the third quorum of 70.

Elder Octaviano Tenorio, from the first 70., and he is the area presidency of mexico.

Elder Walter Gonzalez, from the presidency of the 70.

All really good, and all three speak spanish perfectly, but the main event was Elder Rusell M. nelson, from the quorum of the 12 apostals.

All four walked in and all the missionarys from our mission,about 160 or 170 all stood up, and all four shook our hands before we started the conference.
Elder Carlos didn´t talk very long, ni Elder Tenorio, but they talked and motivated us. Then Elder Gonzalez talked for a little bit about the language. How we, as americans, have to master spanish, and how the mexicans have to master english while we are on our missions. how big language is in the world today. then he talked about a couple other things.

But elder Nelson then followed. He brought a translator and they both stood at the pulpit and talked together. He is so intillgente, and i am not surprised that he was a surgeon. but he talked about a lot of things. and was quite personal with us. he has 4 grandkids in the mission field and it was great to hear him talk. he talked about our purpose as missionarys, in the gathering of isreal. the next time you look in the bible look at the map of the inheritance of the 12 sons of jacob. you will find that 2 sons are missing. Reben, pretty sure it is him , the oldest son, and he didn´t have any because he lost his birthright, and the other son is Joesph. and why doesn´t jose have any land there in Jersualen. its because his inheritance is here in the americas. elder nelson gave us a whole bunch of scriptures about the topic. but this is why the majority of the people here in the americas are from the Tribe, Ephram, or Manass. Just a little info about what he told us. Then he thanked us, and did something i have never seen or heard before,

After his testimony, he said and now i bless you, each and everyone of you, ¨as if i had my hands on top of your head¨ wow, then he have us a blessing from the pulpit. WOW it was so powerful.

But he didn´t say much about the temple, only that it will be started, but he mainly said don´t think about how we can prepare the temple in Tijuana, think about what you can do to enter the temple, and enter with your ward members. really cool.

But all in all it was great. thought i would let you all know what the Book of mormon in the keystone of our religion in so many more ways then i ever knew. I know that the book of mormon is the tool in the gathering of isreal. and that it was written by profets in the americas.

hope you all have a great thanksgiving week, because we all have so much to be thankful for. and in the words of Kelly Wright,

HAPPY DAY, the gospel of Jesus Christ in the world today!,

so count your blessings,

and remember,
that everyone loves a missionary,

Elder Olsen
