THE BERG #16

WAS CONFERENCE MARAVILLOSA OR WHAT?!?!?!?! 

seriously best weekend EVER!!! we had the amazing opportunity to take on conference a little differently this time around...we actually watched it in investigators homes! we house hopped almost every session and in-between sessions went to other investigators homes to make sure they had it qued up and ready to go at their homes! IT WAS AWESOME!! they all loved it and the spirit was felt BIG TIME! mom asked if i had any good food for conference...holy heavens was i spoiled!!!!! saturday, our dear friend mandi made us pork loins and rice with an apple/raisin maple dessert thing...yum!! sunday we had a tea party (herbal of course) with scones and salmon and cucumber and pear/balsamic/brie finger sandwiches with our friend from britain and his family, AND THEN homemade chili and salad and brownies and ice cream from our member!! people are beautifully kind and too generous!!! i was physically fed while i spiritually feasted!! needless to say it was a FULLy enjoyed weekend ;) 

i really enjoyed president uchtdorfs talk. especially the quote he used in the beginning "tell a man there are a trillion stars in the sky and he'll believe it. tell a man there is wet paint on the wall and he will touch it just to be sure.." it hit home for more reasons than one...first off we have several investigators and a less active as well that are looking to "prove" the gospel is true..or they are wanting crazy deep outlandish solutions for their problems rather than the standard "primary answers". i also find myself looking for crazy big changes i need to make in order to improve..rather than recognizing its the little things i need to be consistent with in order to continue my progression :) 

hmm what else...OH MY HEAVENS!! last sunday i made a commitment with the Lord that i would open my mouth and talk with everyone this week even if the situation seemed painfully awkward....satan thought he was funny and made every possible situation arise!! if i hadnt promised the Lord to talk with everyone--we would be a couple investigators short ;) some casual examples.....

the man at the gate to let us into a gated community...awkward because i had initially tried to ride on the coat-tails of a different car to enter the gate because we didnt know the code...when the little gate comes slamming down-just missing the hood of our car...we then had to back out and go into the "guest lane" where he just shook his head and laughed as he jotted down our info haha....already red-faced for causing quite the scene i was ready to jet outta there...but i slapped a smile on my face and explained that we were his missionaries and we would love to teach him about Jesus Christ.. he goes "for free?!?" haha and proceeded to give us his info haha

kid walking down the street--we are driving. we wave as we pass and he gives us a huge wave back...we decide we have to turn around and talk to him but then have this struggle of "are we going to look like stalkers?!?!" but we got over it and turned around, pulled to the side of the road, and rolled down the windows and gave him a pamphlet haha WORTH IT

walking to our car and see a man walking his dog. he is beyond where our car is parked so it wouldnt be "on the way casual hello oh how ya doing?" and it was dark outside so i felt justified in walking straight to the car...but then i remembered the promise...turns out joseph is a sweet christian man with three daughters that would love to hear more about his Lord and Savior!!!

I LOVE TALKING TO EVERYONE AND THEIR DOG!!!!!!!!
