This
general conference was amazing! It was so spiritually uplifting and I heard and
learned a few things that I think were directly meant for me or my
investigators. I got to watch 3 of the 4 sessions, and even better in English
with an Hermana named Belkiss! She is so great and I am grateful that she could
watch it with me. I loved when Neil L Anderson quoted our prophet saying
"...No force in the entire world can stop the work of God." This is
something that I have to remind myself often when things don't turn out how I
thought or hoped they would have. For example, this Saturday we were
supposed to have a baptism, but our investigator didn't show up to the
conference or to his baptism that was going to happen afterwards. I was pretty
upset and heart-broken, which I think is a sign that I have gained a true love
for all of my investigators in this area. But, the closing hymn of the Sunday morning
session has a line that hit me pretty hard. It says, "Fear not I am with
thee oh be not dismayed; For I am thy God and will still give thee aid."
That was exactly what I needed to hear to feel the love and comfort from my
savior that everything was going to be alright. Also, President Monson stressed
the importance of walking AS Christ. In our path we will find bitter sorrow,
but also great happiness and joy. However, to we must strive to place Christ in
the center of our lives. I hope you all
got the opportunity to hear the words of our beloved prophet and his apostles
and learned something that will bring you closer to our savior Jesus Christ. I
know with all my heart that this church is true and that it was restored
through Joseph Smith. I know that Thomas S. Monson is our true and living
prophet on the earth today and that his words are the words of God. If we heed
the words of our prophet I know that we will witness miracles and witness
important changes in our lives. I share this small portion of my testimony with
you in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
With Much Love,
Hermana Hansen
