It's Like Wildfire!

​This past Conference was soooo awesome!!! We got to sustain the 17th prophet of our church and truly witness the power of the testifying spirit of doing so. For people who don't know, 2 times a year we get together and have a General Conference when all the members of the church gather together, whether it be watching through the internet, watching on TV or gathering in the Conference Center in Utah. We listen to the Prophet, the apostles, and other speakers who are predetermined speak the words of God. Our church is blessed with a living Prophet who obtains revelation for our church to guide and lead us in what the Lord wants us to do. Its a really special time for us to hear our Prophet and to hear what God wants us to do as His church. 

For me, this conference was different. Growing up in the church, if I'm being honest, General Conference was just old men talking to the adults and taking me away from my bed. But this time it was different. I changed my mindset I opened my heart and I decided to prepare myself to listen to the Prophet. I learned more from this Conference than all the ones I've listened to in the past. I paid attention, I noted spiritual impressions and I let the Spirit touch my heart. I gained a true testimony of the Prophet of God. I know he leads us and directs us through revelation from God. This experience honestly eclipsed all my other experiences that happened this week. The coolest thing was at the end when the new temples were being announced. We are going to get temples in India and in Russia! The gospel is reaching places I thought possible and I didn't think would ever be able to have temples OR have the gospel preached in their country! It's like a wildfire that is spreading everywhere it can. The Lord softens hearts and makes ways for everyone to learn the gospel and enjoy the blessings it provides. We know the gospel will be spread to every corner of the Earth and we are seeing that come to pass which, for me, testifies of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm so thankful for Jesus Christ's sacrifice especially this Easter season when we celebrate His triumph over death, His Resurrection! I hope you all had a great Easter and have a great week this week!

Love you all and miss you!!
