Hello everyone,
This last tuesday we had a visit from Elder Bednar, who spent all this last week in Mexico on several assignments in missions, ward and stake leadership conferences, and meetings with several government officials. He arrived at the temple grounds where the 400 missionaries from the east and west missions were gathered in the stake center (which is right next to the temple) we all had the chance to shake his and his wife磗 hand, together with Elder Johnson, the 2 mission Presidents and their wives and 3 other area 70磗 that were present. it was a great expirience. Before he visited us Elder Bednar asked us to study 2 of his past articles 创look for learning by faith`` and 创Ask in Faith`` (general conference addresses 2008) we learned a ton by only reading the articles but then he came and taught us by talking with us, asking us what it was we had learned and how we were applying it in our lives. I could put everything i have learned here but they would have to give me another P-day to be able to do it, also the majority would probably be misunderstood as we learned by the power of personal revealation. Elder Bednar gave us an hour to make statements about what we had learned and an hour to ask him questions and obviously not everyone got to ask their questions etc. at the end of the 3 hours we had he asked us to raise our hands if 创we didnt have the chance to ask our question and sombody else didnt ask it, but recieved our answer anyway.`` the majority of the missionaries raised their hands. his big focus in the whole meeting was 创Espiritu santo es el maestro`` i will leave that to the translator, i thought it was cool cause he said it in spanish. he also translated a few scriptures from the book of mormon. now he read them in english, they were translated into spanish, i understood both, but that man as a seer pulled a deeper meaning from the scriptures, a meaning i had never considered. that is part of his holy calling. Mosiah 8:17, 2 Nephi 30: 17-18. I know the church is true and that every person is entitled to recieve revealation. DyC 42:61&65.`` man cannot recieve the holy ghost without recieving revealation创- Joseph smith, index; Holy Ghost. This church is the true church, if the evidences dont do it for you its time to get on your knees and ask the personal revealtion to be given to you so you can know it. I Love you all. Untill Next week,
Elder Paden W Allen
