Week 76 General Conference!!!!

ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

 

Ok, but seriously. I feel like general conference is better then Christmas! :)

 

Wow, this week has been so incredible. Heavenly Father is letting me learn so so much and I am so grateful to Him and my Savior.

 

So, we had interviews with President Weston this week. He looked at me and ask me one question, "What do you want?" I sat there, unsure what to say. He bore powerful testimony that we cane have anything we want! Since then, in my book of Mormon reading, I have been learning a lot about people and Prophets fighting for what they want. How often do we fight for what we want? Do we know what we want? Then he told me "I hope you have gotten what you wanted from your mission." At first, I felt sick. I had the thought, have I wasted my mission because I haven't always known what I want? I walked away feeling slightly discouraged. But something else he told me, that I will never forget, he said, "The atonement starts now." This brought me a lot of peace and hope. Every day is a new day and we can start now. :)

 

"As our understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ grows, our desire to share the gospel will increase." PMG 2. This is true!

 

General Conference was incredible. I learned about focusing on the ONE! This is what the Savior did.  It keeps getting better and better and better! Hopefully our hearts are becoming more open. I pray mine is! Roger and Heather came to General Conference at the church. Sadly, Belle their little one became a little frustrated and they had to leave early, but Roger understood what was said and he seemed to like it! He is so sincere and wants to be a better father.

 

We almost lost Carol! So, she is having a granddaughter move in and didn't feel like she had time to meet with us. Luckily she let us come and do some service for her. We were praying! We walked into her house and she wanted us to sit down...we were a little confused...she wanted to talk about her questions from her Book of Mormon reading! And she still wants to meet with us. :) Tender Mercy big time!

 

I love you all so much! I am so grateful for all of your testimonies. They strengthen me and so many others. I have never realized what a gift our testimonies are! They are so special and the most important thing that we have! (someone is conference said that :)

 

Have a wonderful week! Love,
