Hello!This week we had Stake Conference, and luckily for the first time in a LONG time I didn't have to do translation, so I was free to just sit back and take in the talks. I really enjoyed the talks and learnt from them. President Bellumo, the Stake President gave a talk about living water, and compared it to the other waters we can buy, and how much we have to pay for it. It made me think, alot. Living water is the most essential, in the long run, and most helpful, of all water, and we don't even pay for it. We just have to sacrifice our egoism and selfishness. As we give up our self-centredness, we get a little bit of living water, that gets added, little by little, each day. As we do that, we are healed. We can be healed of any kind of wound, physical, spiritual, emotional, it can all be healed, as we give ourselves up, and start looking towards Christ. Does that seem hard? To have the faith to give up looking at ourselves and look at others? Alma teaches us that if we can't muster the faith, then if we just have even the desire, then we can grow it until it becomes what we need. I've learnt that living water is essential, and without it, we can never have that higher happiness that we really need in our lives.I love you all!Anziano Nelson
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
