Stake conference is over for aanother six months. Although I didn't attend the Saturday session or Leadership Training, hard at work in the backyard getting things ready for winter. I did go to the Sunday conference. The Dalhousie Primary sang the prelude music. And then sang another song once the opening prayer, and announcements were made.
What I loved about conference was the theme, about those who are lost to the Gospel and how it is important we find them and I really liked this thought by President Robison- not to bring them to church; but to Christ. How simple is that, we always invite people to church but not to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. On Friday eveing we had a ward FHE and had a potluck dinner and speakers talk about various aspects of being new to the church and how diffucult it is for a new member to understand the language--(Stake conference,General Conference, Relief Society etc)
I look forward to conference next year.

General Conference
General Conference is coming to your town shortly, sounds good doesn't it? When I read this quote it gave me renewed faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"The Lord has given some marvelous guarantees without any disclaimers. And this is one of them: He will choose the prophet, and He will never let that man lead us astray. Imagine for a moment the impact of that promise. There is at least one place we can turn for pure, unpolluted guidance."
How wonderfully lucky we are to have living Prophets today, not to tell us how to live our lives, but rather to give us guidance, love and direction. Like a parent does. In todays world we are being bombarded with many unplesant things. And to know that we are loved, sons and daughters of a great creator. WOW.
Let me know who's talk inspired you to do better, who lifted you're spirit up. Who gave you the courage to say, this will pass.
