President Nelson

April 24

Bueno. Les cuento.

So this week was really great. Loads of missionary work. Some baptismal interviews for other elders. Staying inside all day during the Census because we couldn't leave and (can I get a drum roll?) Mission conference with President Nelson.

No me cabe ni una duda que es un Apostal del Señor. 

No doubt what so ever that he is like any of the Apostles that lived in the primitive church. He is so fantastic. We all, the Chile Concepcion and Concepcion south mission, had the opportunity to shake his hand. As we orderly walked up by row and shook his hand he looked me in the eye and said "Hi Elder Miller" Just like that I felt the spirit. Just a look and three words and I felt the love that he has for the missionaries and for me personally. I ask you to imagine the Savior  and what it would be like to be able to see him and shake his hand. If you have lived righteously he might say something like

"Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth?"

What a blessing that will be.

In the Conference we also heard from the area presidency, Elder Packer, the son of the apostle, Elder Texeira and their respective wives. As well we heard from our mission presidents and their wives. It was wonderful.

President Nelson asked a question in the conference that hit me deeply. It was something like this "What Doctrine or knowledge would you not have if you had not ever read or heard of the book of Mormon." At first one might think that it is a relatively insignificant question as I thought about it I realized that my life has been blessed a whole lot by the book of Mormon. I remember learning from young age about how you are in the service of your fellow bring that you are in the service of your god and how that was a strong motivator for me at a young age. I also think of the knowledge of our savior that we have because of the book of Mormon. The Doctrine of baptism and how the savior has asked us to baptize. How children as saved by the atonement of Jesus Christ and the list goes on. I love the book of Mormon. I love president Nelson. I will now end with a quote from him.

"Study your book of Mormon and you will understand your Bible"

Love,

Kelton Miller

 CONCEPCIÓN... A day of pure joy...the two Concepción Missions met to hear President and Sister Nelson, Elder and Sister Teixeira, and Elder and Sister Packer. What an inspiration to be in the presence of an apostle of the Lord!
