# 73- "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Life Goes on Naaaaa Lalalalala Life Goes On!‏"


WHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOAAAAAA This week was absolutely fantastic!!! It was so great! We had District Conference and President and Sister Cordon came over to participate. 

Friday morning, Sister called us and asked us to participate in a special musical number, what I mean to say is, she asked Elder Gabriel to sing "Oh how lovely was the morning" And me to play it on the piano. UH OH. Hahahah but I can never say no and I never will. So we did it!!! I´ll talk about it in a minute!!!

Saturday morning we participated in a wedding. 2 of our investigators, Juliano and Franciele we married. It was super awesome and great. I loved it. Then after we ate lunch and the member that we ate with took us to the chapel in the center of the city to prepare for President and Sister´s arrival. President wanted to have interviews with some of the elders and Sister had gotten some new furniture and asked me and Elder Gabriel to go with her and her son Dallin. So we did. It was a lot of fun. She is a fantistic person!!

Then we went back to our area and tried to get some work done, inviting people to conference. We got overwhelmingly tired and we had to go back to the house and change our clothes to go to the adult session (that would be when we would perform our musical number). At home, we mixed guaraná in pó with water and it makes like a natural healthy energy drink. MAN did it do the trick. We got a ride with our branch president to the meeting. Everyone spoke and during Sister Cordon´s talk, she asked us to perform our song. I was so nervous. I had never played it before! and I can´t play the piano (and I had told president and sister that before hah). We played it and it was fantastic! The Spirit flooded the room! It was amazing He definately helped me play. Then Sister spoke and after President spoke as well. It was so spiritual. I was amazed. 

After President and Sister complimented us. "What do you mean you don´t play the piano?" hahaha president said that to me. It was amazing.


The next day was District Conference. It was AmAZING!!! We had 3 confirmations during to meeting. I have already told mom and dad but the first counselor in the temple presidency spoke on eternal marriage and he said that in his father-in-law´s house he had a sign that said "I am the king of this house and what I say, goes and my wife gives me permission to say this." hahaha After the conference, We had a baptism. We invited President and Sister to stay for the baptism. President said "Baptism? I love baptisms!" hahaha and they stayed and watched the baptism. It was super spiritual!!!

This past week was A DREAM. I am just living the dream!!! there is nothing better than this!!!! Monday afternoon President and Sister Cordon called us to congratulate our zone on the wonderful work we did.

This is the true and living church of god on the face of the earth. I don´t have any doubt of it. This is God´s work and I am in His service. I am His servant and representative. The Book of Mormon is true. I don´t doubt this. I cannot. I have fallen in love with it and to deny the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon would be like denying the existance of the sun. Jesus is the Christ. He loves us!! He is our Savior and Redeemer and His church is on the earth, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I love you all!
Don´t Stop Believing!!
Com Amor!!!!!
