Transfer 11 week 2
Hermana hazard

Well this week has been really great. Big changes. Big changes are happeing. Well what kind of changes are we talking about here? Well for one, Cataluña declared independence from Spain. So everyone is talking about it right niw, and no one really knows what will happen or what it means. Spain says that is illegal and impossible for them to do, but Cataluña say its going to do what it wants. So from what I have heard, Spain has put a lot of restrictions on Cataluña, like cutting of TV and internet, retriciting schools, and government functions, etc. So I am not 100 percent sure what will happen but its a little scary. I mean I know that I am far away but I just hope thst it get figured out soon. 

Well also, the church is making some changes. They will reduce the number of mission in the world here pretty quick. They are promoting the use new technology to further the people and lands that we can reach. They are changing the sunday school program and how it will work, and how we will learn and teach one another in the kingdom. They have changed the general conference schedule... Its just crazy amazing to me! The lord is hadtening his work, and he is doing it right now. I am just happy that I can be a part of it. Changes are really good, and they help us to grow. I mean that is what repentanc is; a change of nature, a change of heart. Well other than that this wekm has benn really good, as always. We had concilio with president and hermanna pack in their house. We talked about the needs of the mission, and of our specific zones, and whst we could do to help them. We also talked about the upcoming Christmas campaign #lighttheworld, and what we can do to "Own it". So I am actually superdupercalifragilisticexpialidociuosly excited for the new christmas campaign. In spanish it is ILUMINAELMUNDO. Its gunna be lit?.. Ha. Then we also were able to find lots of great peopel ans ahre the gospel with them this week and set up some new appointments with some of them. So this next week we are going to be booked. We were also able to make some good plans to do something with our zone to help them. We are going to have a scavenger hunt to help them find more poeple, work better with members, and just be more excited and motivated! So we will start that this next week sometime and will do it until December. Also! BIG NEWS: Caridad will be baptized on Novemebr 4th, and I will be able to be there via technology and whatapp. I am so proud of her and how far she has come. She has truly had the change of heart, and has true desires to follow our savior and his perfect gospel. I feel blessed to have been a small part of her converstion and testimony. So I will send you guys some picture's of her next week when they come. 

So, my grandparents sent me an amazing story that I thought was remarkably powerful that I wanted to share with y'all, because many times we foucus and the saviors suffering and death, and forget the all important fact that He Lives! He lives and loves us and speaks with our prophets and apostles. HE LIVES!

The following account was shared by LeRoi C. Snow, the son of President Lorenzo Snow. Brother Snow tells how, at age 85, his father was concerned he would be asked to succeed President Wilford Woodruff, who was ailing, as President of the Church. Following President Woodruff’s death on September 2, 1898, President Snow knelt at an altar in the Salt Lake Temple and pleaded with the Lord for guidance.

Detail from The Second Coming, by Harry Anderson

After finishing his prayer, [my father] expected a reply, some special manifestation from the Lord. So he waited—and waited—and waited. There was no reply, no voice, no visitation, no manifestation. He left the altar and the room in great disappointment. Passing through the celestial room and out into the large corridor, a glorious manifestation was given President Snow which I relate in the words of his granddaughter, Allie Young Pond. …

“One evening while I was visiting Grandpa Snow in his room in the Salt Lake Temple, I remained until the door keepers had gone and the night watchmen had not yet come in, so grandpa said he would take me to the main front entrance and let me out that way. … After we left his room and while we were still in the large corridor leading into the celestial room, I was walking several steps ahead of Grandpa when he stopped me and said: ‘Wait a moment, Allie, I want to tell you something. It was right here that the Lord Jesus Christappeared to me at the time of the death of President Woodruff. He instructed me to go right ahead and reorganize the First Presidency of the Church at once and not wait as had been done after the death of the previous presidents, and that I was to succeed President Woodruff.’

“Then Grandpa came a step nearer and held out his left hand and said: ‘He stood right here, about three feet above the floor. It looked as though He stood on a plate of solid gold.’

“Grandpa told what a glorious personage the Savior is and described His hands, feet, countenance, and beautiful white robes, all of which were of such a glory of whiteness and brightness that he could hardly gaze upon Him.

“Then he came another step nearer and put his right hand on my head and said: ‘Now, Granddaughter, I want you to remember that this is the testimony of your grandfather, that he told you with his own lips that he actually saw the Savior, here in the temple, and talked with Him face to face.’”

… I related this experience in the Eighteenth Ward sacramental service. After the meeting Elder Arthur Winter told me he also had heard my father tell of the Savior’s appearance to him in the temple instructing him not only to reorganize the First Presidency at once but also to select the same counselors that President Woodruff had, Presidents George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith.
