Man,
what an awesome Conference Weekend! I sure hope you all had as great a weekend as I did. It was such a blessing to not only have Conference,
but to also have Easter; to remember our Savior, and then to have Apostles and prophets of the Lord speak about our Savior. We
were lucky to go to awesome members' houses in the American Ward to
watch Conference, which was really nice. It was almost the same as
being home with people falling asleep, eating junk food 'til you wanna
barf and just having fun ... and feeling the Spirit; I am grateful for
that.
Something
I noticed this time that I normally don't was not only what the speakers said, but the music that they selected and how it related to the
talks and conversations. I thought that was really neat. I have to say
I loved every single talk I heard. I felt the Spirit was with me
because every single talk I listened to, I found things that pertained to
myself and people here that I am teaching. It was really special. I
really loved the talk by D. Todd Christofferson when he said something
along the lines of, "Many things are good, many things are important,
but FEW things are ESSENTIAL ..." Kinda gives you a new outtake on things.
It
is amazing that we will have 3 more temples, too! I can't believe how
much the church has grown, and is growing. It is a true blessing how
the work is moving forward.
The
other day Sister Peterson and I got stopped by two Jehovah Witnesses,
and they thought we were one of them and we laughed. They were really kind and we were able to bear testimony to them about what we believe,
as did they. We gave them a card and told them to look up the new video 'Because He Lives' and they did an Austausch (trade) and gave us a pamphlet. It was kinda funny, but it was nice to be civil and have a
decent conversation with them because sometimes that doesn't happen with people.
One of our
members of the ward introduced us to their neighbors this last week. Also,
and they have been taking the lessons and investigating the Church for
the last 13 years. It was so fun to meet them and I hope that we can
help them commit to baptism and coming to church. So, keep us in your
prayers with that family.
Well, I hope you all had a great weekend and found some talks that can help you in your lives to be the best that you can. Have a great week!
