Elder Kearon on the 70

Well, well. What a week! Sooooo much travel, yet so much happened. Dad, just so you know, travel in spain is boring. There isn´t any wildlife, and there are no trees besides olive trees, and they get old after about 6 months. The coolest things to see are cities and castles and cathedrals and old Don Quijote windmills here in La Mancha off in the distance, but you don´t usually get much of that in train. The special training on the other had was great! I had the chance to tranlate the message of Elder Kearon for 6 or so native spanish speakers at the conference, and that was a great experience.

Elder Kearon spoke about many things. His main focus was that we have the power to choose. My testimony of the importance of free agency was strengthened as I listened and reiterated the words he spoke. It is our decision whether we let ourselves give into fear. We can choose to be fearless. We can choose to do and be whatever we want. He spoke of the need to learn to discern between the good and evil spirit. The good spirit uplifts, the evil brings down. When we here a negative voice in our head, we´d best not listen to it, rather we should push it out. Does that mean we don´t identify our problems and mistakes? No. It just means that we don´t dwell on them. We identify them, come up with a plan to better ourselves, and then we push forward.

It was a good conference. Afterward, we went on intercambios, and that was a good experience, we had lots of miracles and blessings during those 24 hours.

We also went again to Manzanares this week. The members are excited to work with us, and we are excited to work with them.

Love you all,

Elder Garrett B Turley
