President Cook asked us last week if we could take an hour at the multi-zone conferences and talk about MI FAVORITO topic, FAMILYSEARCH! I am so excited to bring this missionary tool to the forefront. There was an excellent article online in the Ensign and Liahona from October 2014. It even has video links.
English:
Elder Bednar's Talk Spirit of Elijah
Español:
Elder Bednar Espiritu de Elias
I created a powerpoint presentation around this talk and I have a poorer flash version of it just to give you an idea. The sound is a bit off. I also did not include the videos that I showed. If you want to watch the videos too, then click the link(s) above.

I ended with the following testimony:
El espíritu de Elías ha sido una parte de mi vida desde que tenía diecisiete años.
No puedo contar las bendiciones este espíritu especial trae a mi vida.
Comencé con una máquina de escribir y ahora puedo usar el internet. En otras palabras,
Comencé con un handcart de los pioneros y ahora puedo usar mi auto!
Es mucho más fácil y termino más cosas.
La obra del Señor esta acelerando aquí y somos los participantes pero, la obra esta acelerando en el otro lado también. ¿ Somos participantes?
Elder Bednar dice que debemos ser.
Comparto este desafío con ustedes en el nombre de Jesucristo Amén.
Ahora, Elder Burnett puede hablar con ustedes.
He hablado con todas las palabras en español que conozco.
The Spirit of Elijah has been a part of my life since I was 17 years old. I
I cannot count the blessings the special spirit brings to my life.
I started with a typewriter and now I can use the internet. In other words,
I started with a pioneer handcart and now I can use my car.
It is so much easier and I complete more things.
The work of the Lord is hastening here and we are all participants but, the work of
the Lord is hastening on the other side also. Are we participants?
Elder Bednar says we should be.
I share this challenge with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Now Elder Burnett can talk with you.
I have talked to you with all the words that I know in Spanish.
We then moved into using FamilySearch and had a Latin missionary come and enter his grandparents or great grandparents into the system. It was so great! We did four area conference this week and next week we do one out in Melo.
In Melo we spent the night at our favorite hotel and ended up in a room with a BATHTUB! Why did I not know this room existed before? Well I do now and will request it whenever we go to Melo (which unfortunately is not too often).

We spent the night in Melo and had a visitor
waiting for us. |
Melo Conference: Elder Gallagher did a great and fun job of
providing the lunch after the conference.
