Hello everyone!

Did you all get to see General Conference? I hope so! I got to see all but one of the sessions, I loved it! Though to be honest I spent most of the time trying to help our investigators feel welcome and making sure that they understood what was happening. I remember one of the first times I came to Church was for General Conference, when President Monson was sustained as Prophet. I felt the Spirit so strong at that time, and gained my testimony that he was a Prophet of God as I listened to his talk. 5 years later all I can really remember of that talk was the story of him playing with a child, wiggling his ears while on the pulpit. Later I learned that there were probably a few people that thought that such behaviour was beneath the dignity of a Prophet. I've always thought, and learned again on the Mission, that the Saviour was right, that a man of God is willing to entertain and play with children. That as we are willing to do what we need to in order to make other people happy, to make them smile, that is when we come closest to God, because that is His work and His glory, to make us happy and to make us smile.

I love you!
