Conference after Conference after Conference

March 28 - April 3

The beginning of this week was the same old missionary life up until Friday.

Friday we had Zone meeting, they showed us the new Easter initiative called #PRINCEofPEACE.  It's pretty good, go check it out!

Basically it is a nondenominational video about how we can find peace through Jesus Christ, even in our unpeaceful world today. 

We also watched a video with Holland and Eyring.  They were talking about missionary work.  They responded to the questions "Why is missionary work so hard?"  The way they responded really hit me.  Basically what Holland said was, it was never meant to be easy. Even Jesus Christ got rejected and yelled at.  But in those moments where we are rejected and yelled at we are standing shoulder to shoulder with our Savior.  (I wish I remembered more)

Then Saturday and Sunday was... GENERAL CONFERENCE! Lemme tell ya... GC as a missionary is basically CHRISTMAS!  All the talks were so good! One of my favorites was the one by
Mark A Bragg: It's the one about "Light" 😃  brighter-and-brighter-until-the-perfect-day
Also Jeffrey R Hollands talk.  songs-sung-and-unsung
One phrase that showed up in Saturday session the most was "HE LIVES!" What a powerful statement by our amazing leaders?! It reminds me of a scripture. (wow I sound like a missionary! 😮) 

D&C 76:22-24

22 And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!

23 For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—

24 That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.

It's my favorite scripture at the moment.
