So, Conference. Can we just all take a second and just bask
in the spirit of how incredible General Conference was this past weekend?
Seriously. I cannot even tell you how much spiritual revelation and new
insights I received, not just for my mission, but for the rest of my life! The
Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is real, people! I promise you. This
quote from Elder Teh was one that really hit me hard this past weekend. He
is so right. God knows us so much better than we know ourselves, so we need to
trust Him implicitly! Another talk that hit me hard was Elder D. Todd
Christofferson's. Endings are so hard in life. I've never thought about why
though. And when he said that because our Spirit's are eternal beings, it just
made so much sense to me! Endings are so hard for us because our Spirit KNOWS
that we are eternal and that there is more to life than just this earth! I also
loved Elder Uchtdorf's about being grateful IN our circumstances, not being
grateful FOR things. And being grateful all the time, even when times are hard.
So you know how for General Conference you should really think about some
questions you have before conference so they can be answered through the spirit
of the talks given by the speakers? So I will tell you one of my questions, and
you can judge me, I don't even care, but I just feel like sharing it. One of my
questions was "is it worth it?" meaning my mission. The first
session, the first talk given, by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, he answered it in a
complete sentence. He said "and yes! it IS worth it!" talking about
defending our faith, not just as missionaries, but as members as well. I am so
grateful to be a member of this wonderful restored gospel of Jesus Christ and I
know that He lives and will come again. I love you all so much and hope you have
an absolutely amazing week(:
Love, Sister Brittany Anne Larsen(:
