General
Conference was fantastic! I loved every
minute of it! In almost every talk there
was something that a speaker said that would answer a question of mine, or
would allow the spirit to touch my heart and answer my questions. Ever since we were challenged by Elder Kopiske
to come to all church meetings with at least one question in mind, I have
always been trying to do so. Especially
for General Conference, I wrote down all of my questions that I had on my mind and
all of them were answered! I have really
grown to appreciate the inspired messages that the speakers have so carefully
prepared. I used to not really pay
attention to what they said, but now their words are as good as Christmas to
me!
We had a
really wonderful experience with our investigator during General Conference. We asked him to prepare some questions, like
we had, before hand and let the Lord answer them. One of his questions was how we are saved by
grace. Right after he told us this,
Elder Bednar gave his talk about being saved by grace. After the session we talked with our
investigator and he said that he would like to be re-baptized. It was awesome!
Another one
of our sister investigators came to almost every session. She asked us after the Saturday afternoon
session of conference what she needed to do to be baptized. Elder Hatch and I have been so happy to see
success come from our efforts to share the gospel! I am looking forward to getting these people
prepared to enter the waters of baptism. I know that they will make it
one day, no matter how long it takes.
We are going
fishing today at a member’s pond, and it sounds like it is super full of fish! I love y'all so much!Love,
