Prophetic counsel from conference proven in Rancagua.

This has been a really crazy week. We had some troubles here in the sector, and thanks to those problems, Im heading all the way on the other side of the mission to Talca in a sector called La Florida!! Never thought the mission would send me to Florida but Ill be leaving tomorrow morning and on a bus for about 5 hours to get there :) My new companion will be Hermana Flores from Peru who has 6 weeks out in the mission field so that will be fun and am so excited to work there!! 

I was studying a little bit more about the priesthood, and came across the scriptures in D&C 27 where it talks about the Melchizedek priesthood, and about the armor of god. We had talked to Nicolas about htis armor only a few days before and I hadn't noticed at the time that this chapter talks about the priesthood. I was thinking about the relation between the 2, and remembered the talk by Linda K Burton this last general conference thats says (something along these lines in english) That there will be a time when the only thing standing between us and the adversary is the power of the priesthood. This week has been a real tesimony builder as to the realidad of her prophetic statement. I can't go into specifics, but this whole cambio there had been little occurrences concerning us and men folk in our sector, and this week something a little more drastic happened. The only thing that prevented anything serious from occuring were the elders in our barrio, and promptings that we received from the spirit.  I can't even begin to emphasize the importance of people in general constantly living worthily to receive those promptings, and the importance of priesthood holders acting on those promptings they receive and using their power to administer and help those that they have charge. 

Lucila came to church yesterday and is counting down the days til her baptism. She hasnt' smoked in over 2 weeks, and it has been amazing to see the change in her from the moment we met her to now :)  I cried when our district leader told us the cambios, because I have grown to love the people here in Villa El Sol so much, and the time here has passed entirely too quickly.  Hermana Smith is going to do great carrying on the work, and will work miracles with her new companion.
