This week was super good!
General Conference was as good as ever! What was your favorite talk?
Everyone has a favorite talk! I know you do. I think my favorite talk
was by Elder D. Todd Christofferson. Even though it starts off quoting a
Shakespeare play that confused me because Shakespeare is hard to
understand...I'll probably have to listen to that part 2 or 3 more times
before I really understand it. Luckily Elder Christofferson expounds
more on it. I like how he explains the principal of moral agency and the
consequences that come from that freedom. Also, I like how he
emphasized the importance of receiving personal revelation. Personal
revelation is one of the most important principles but one of the most difficult to grasp. How great is it to think that God, the most supreme, powerful, all-knowing being in the universe wants to
speak to you? He has power over all things and yet He uses all that
power for you. That is if you will let him. God will not send revelation
if you decide to close him out. The power of God will not "distill upon
your soul" if you cover your soul with a sheet of rebellion and
disobedience. But even so God will not give up on you. The moment you
take off that sheet and open up the channels of revelation with him then
"he doth immediately bless you". Remember that.
This
week was really really good. We had a lot of fun with different activities with the zone and things like that. Also Elder Stallings and I
got to go to the Newport Beach Temple so I could be with a Recent
Convert from Huntington Beach. I was really close with and he's
going on a mission now!! Such a great experience. It was so great to get
to be there with him and to see all the awesome members from the ward I
was in down there.
This week should be a good
one. We have our zone conference this week and it falls on the same day
as my 18 month mark! Crazy right? I love you guys. Keep on truckin.
That's what Enduring to the End, the last of the 5 Principles that make
up the Gospel of Jesus Christ, boils down to. Keep on tuckin!
Keep it real.
Elder Sanderson
