General Conference

So this week was a beautiful week in Brazil! We have been teaching a boy named Filipe. He came to an activity in the church and a few days later we ran into his mom and she told us that we should baptize him....Which normally it is the other way around! Well we have been teaching him and he is really excited! his baptism is the Saturday and he is a spirit that is definitely ready for the gospel! He has been prepared by God!
He came to conference with us.Which for me was a little different because it was all in Portugues, but it was so good! The spirit testified to me so strongly that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God, and I know I will support that man until the day he continues onto the eternities.
I was reading in my scriptures this morning in Alma 60:10 about an epistle to the chief judge of the land and how he had been working diligently but was neglecting the people. I then asked myself this question ¨Have I been neglecting the people?¨ 
Have I really been giving all of my heart, might, mind and strength into the salvation of this people? Do I give my attention to the people? I realized I need to do more! I need to put a little more into my relationships and a little more into my letters. A little more into my lessons and a little more into my work. I need to look for the ways to share this gospel with everyone!
I love all of you so much, I know that we all lived together before this life! You are all my brothers and sisters and there are many more out there that need our help! Talk to strangers! Love everyone! Serve the Savior!

Life is beautiful.  Serve everyone.
Eu te amo,
Elder Cooper
