Conference zoo and miracles

This week was very good. We got to watch the conference and today we got to go to a zoo. It was cool.

We worked hard trying especially to find here in Quitilipi and the work keeps on going forward. The people here are very nice and willing to chat and a little more willing to let us sit down and talk.

For General Conference we had to come Saturday morning to Saenz Peña to the district center to watch it. I got to watch it in english with the other American Elders. I also got to see one of the sisters from my first area who came here to watch it.
We rented a van to help the members were able to also come to Saenz Peña to see the conference as well. They were very happy to come. One of the men told me he has never seen a chapel so nice before he was happy to be able to attend and hear the prophet's words.

We were able to arrange an interview with the branch president for one of the members to be able to receive the Aaronic priesthood and the members were able to pay their tithing.

We also went to the zoo here today in Saenz Peña it's actually rather large and we filled in 2 hours without getting bored for sure and still didn't see all the animals. They had birds and tigers and lions and all sorts of stuff. it was cool.

We were about to watch the Sunday morning session of conference and the internet went out right before it started. We tried everything, checked all the cables but it did not come back on. We decided we had to say a prayer and the instant we finished the internet came back.

That experience made me wonder how many things the Lord wants to tell us and help us learn that we have to just pray to fully receive. It helped me think of how important prayer can be to help us go through this life. It helped me think of what was said, there are things that we can only learn by faith.

We may have to make sure we have all the settings right and the cables plugged in. the habits of prayer, scripture study, and church attendance and then ask him and the knowledge can come rushing in just like the conference did for us.

I hope you have a good week. I love you all,
Elder Dallin Skouson
