Didn't you just LOVE conference?
I feel like I have gotten much more out of General
Coonference here in my time as a missionary. It's literally such a highlight
and a spiritual fest. I think my favorite talks were from Jeffrey R. Holland,
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Russel M. Nelson, and actually, I can't choose, just all of
them. I love what Elder Uchtdorf shared about how to share the gospel, step by
step. I also love what was taught about the cvonnection between love and
ministering, and I absolutely loved the emphasis on repentace and the Atoning
power of Jesus Christ.
Thanks to the goodness of the Bishop, we actually had the
opportunity to watch in English usign the computer in the Bishop's office and
it was so great to hear the voices of the Apostles and The prophet. It's
honestly just so much better when you can actually hear their voice with the
intonation and all of that. An boy, was that fun. We might have taken over the
office for a short while with our notebooks and general conference
snacks.
I think one of the principles I felt the most was the need
to minister and love both in our imediate family as in our church family, I
personally have been blessed in my live an youth by you guys (my lovng family),
and also loveign church members who have guided me and helped me. I still
remeber ehat the Stock fmaily did for me years ago wiht the "happy
package" of the CD and all the yellow things. Honeslty, I still hold that
in a very specal place in my heart, as well as many other smaller moments of
kind words and guestures that I have recieved throughout the years. The world
is gettign more difficult, and we are in need more and more of unity and
support both in our home based learnign and in our church community.
I love you all soooo much!
Con mi amor eterno,
Hermana Rawlings
P.S. Remeber the guy I talked to in the Cyber about goign to
churhc? Yeah, he got baptized on Saturday! YAY! HIs name is José.
