So this weekend was great!! I love conference!! I hope you all had the chance to watch conference and listen to the words of the Prophet and Apostles that our Heavenly Father has chosen for us in this time! I am so thankful for all that they have taught us!
Gerald Causse said something that really touched me and reminded me of something that President Gelwix had talked to us about before he left. Gerald Causse taught us that "casual commandment keeping" keeps us from seeing some of the amazing things that the gospel brings to us. I love this term "Casual Commandment Keeping."
President Gelwix was talking about the time when we would have to go home. That he wasn't worried that we would go inactive but that we would go "casual." Casual with reading the scriptures and casually fulfilling our callings. Just being casual with everything.
Being here on a mission, we don't have time to be casual...Casually keeping the mission rules, casually talking to people. There is not enough time to be casual. But I started thinking about life in general. We don't have to be casually keeping the commandments. There is so much that we need to do on this earth. There is so much that our Heavenly Father has planned for us! I truly am grateful for the chance we had to listen to our prophet and apostles. There were so many great talks, I wish that I could talk about them all! But obviously, that is not possible!
I hope that we all take time to really ponder the words that we have been given. I hope we were all able to remember the true meaning of Easter as we listened to conference. I think we can all leave it up to Elder Holland to get us really thinking about the Atonement. I feel so honored to know that Jesus Christ died for me, that he broke the bonds of death so that I could return to live with my Heavenly Father. I know that He truly does love us. Easter is that time that we have to truly remember his Resurrection. I love Him so much and I am so thankful for all that He has done for us.
I love this gospel so much and there is nothing more that I would want for everyone in this world to receive it!
I love you all!
Love,
Hermana Ramos-Escobar
