Wasn't conference so amazing! So many
powerful messages. i can't even express them all in my email. But I
loved the talks on gratitude. I always have loved that aspect of the
gospel. Especially when we are much happier people when we know what we
have and appreciate it! I liked Elder Hollands talk about defending our
faith. We truly are all called upon to stand up for our faith. I loved
this quote, "Take heart, pure Christ-like love flowing from true
righteousness can change the world." I believe that to be 100 percent
true! Conference was especially focused on the family. and i really
liked that. I love that the church stands where it stands and isn't
going to subcome to the ways of the world. We got to teach about the
proclamation to the world with one of our investigators this week, and i
love the short but powerful statements it makes about the importance of
the family. that is something that i have been blessed with a loving
family that understands just how important we are to each other.
Another thing i noticed was that almost ever single person if not every
person bore solemn testimony in 1 of the 4 essential truths that we
were taught by Elder Richards. How important is was for me to see our
examples using the same teaching pattern that we were given. To have
them focusing so much on our personal testimonies and conversion. I
truly know that Jesus Christ is our Savior, that Joseph Smith saw God
and Jesus Christ and that through God's power that was brought back to
the earth Christ's church was restored! and that through the power of
the Book of Mormon, we can know that for ourselves and each have our own
Joseph Smith experience! Where we can gain our own personal testimony
of the truthfulness of these things. I know that Jesus Christ lives!
Everyone in Arizona go to the Easter pagent this year and learn of our
Savior! It is something that i will for sure miss. I am pretty sure that
every companion wants to see it because i talk about it all the time!! I
also noticed how much the scriptures were used this conference,
especially stories from the life of Christ. That may be because i know
the scriptures better, but i think they really are focusing on the life
of our Savior.
Thanks for all the love and support. Take the time
to look back on conference if you didn't get a chance. i am excited to
start reviewing! And remember that "courage not compromise brings the
smile of God upon us" (Pres. Monson)
