Hola Familia!!!!!
Ok so this last weekend was a weekend of miracles for me. Not in a way that some of you might expect but it was amazing!!!
Going
into conference this last week me and my comp decided that we were
going to fast! I really wanted some answers for my life and as well we
have some investigators that we just didn't know what to do for them. So
me and my comp started our fast Friday after lunch.
And Friday night was great. God answered some of our questions then and
there and it was like whoa... if he is answering now what is he gonna
say tomorrow. Then me and my comp woke up Saturday morning and I woke up
sick. ( again!!! I was a little mad) I was so sick that I could barely
pick up my head. Turns out I had gotten super dehydrated.....
So I with some advice of the mission nurse i was advised to end my fast
and drink some water and eat some food so that I wouldn't get more sick
and I could take some medicine. So i reluctantly ended my fast. 
I
didnt want to do it. i really wanted to receive some answers in this
last conference and i felt that if i ended my fast I wasn't going to receive my answers. So when i knelt down to pray, I begged my father in
heaven "please please please please forgive me I don't want to end this
fast but I wont be able to go to conference if I don't start feeling
better soon. I want to hear the words of the prophets because I know
through them i will be able to understand what path you want me to
follow." I ended my fast and ate some food, drank some water and then I
started to feel better and by the time the conference rolled around I
felt good enough that I could go. And by the time we got to the stake
center to actually watch the conference I almost felt normal ( miracle
#1)
In the first conference I got an answer to a question I was having for
my degree, when I started my mission I felt the desire to change my
degree from physical education to nursing, but through the course of my
mission I have wanted to change it to like 5 other different degrees 
and I honestly was lost on what I should do. I was thinking and praying yet again about nursing
but the thought that always came to my mind was " but I hate hearing people throw up!"
I was wondering if I cant stand that sound how on earth am I going to be a good nurse.
Then in the Saturday morning session Elder John C Pingree talked about
how each of us has an important role. He said " Our Heavenly Father has
specific and significant things for you and me to accomplish."
I don't know why but this little phrase gave me the comfort and the
peace that following the nursing degree is what I need to do with my
life.
I don't understand why and it will probably take me a while to adjust to all the throwing up. But God has something planned for me and he wants me to follow this degree!
Ya OK so that for me was miracle #2 and
then Saturday in the afternoon, during the talk from Elder Rasband I
literally almost died! Like he spoke right to my heart!!!
And even more when he said " When our Father in Heaven said This is my
work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of
man, he was talking about all of his children. YOU in particular"
In that moment I couldn't hold back the tears
anymore and knew that God had answered all the questions I had desired
to receive from my fast!!! I KNOW and TESTIFY with all of my heart
family that God loves each of us and through his prophet and apostles He
will lead and guide us!!!! I could feel it Saturday and Sunday! Saturday after the session I'll admit I was a little in shock for all the
revelation I had received that I went to the bathroom and threw up!!!
All the Elders and Hermana's after were like "wow you got some deep
revelation!!!!" and its true because I did!!! God is helping us!!!
Sometimes all we have to do is put in our part!!!
I
seriously am so grateful for conference and for the opportunity we have
every 6 months to listen to these words!!! I invite all of you to
follow the counsel of Elder Anderson! To study and ponder and apply what
you learned in the conference this last weekend!!! It truly will bless
your lives I promise!!!!!
Love you all so much!!!! Thanks for all the support!!!!
Love, Hermana McNamara
