We live directly across the street from the Conference Center so we watched the preparations all last week. Everything was given a spring refresh, from the flower beds to the railings. One perk of being at the Headquarters Mission is that we did get tickets for conference. What a magnificent building! It seats 21,000 people and as far as I could tell was completely full.
We were way up in the 2nd balcony but the view was still very good. And of course they also have jumbo TV’s so that you can really see the speakers’ faces.
The spirit was strong and testified to me of the divine calling of each of these men and women.
My faith in my Savior was strengthened and my resolve to serve Him, on this mission, and as long as I live grew.
A few of my favorite quotes from the 5 conference sessions,
Each April and again in October, members of our church and others are blessed to listen to words of council and encouragement from our church leaders. When we are home in Idaho, we watch on TV. Congregation around the world make arrangements for their members to participate by satellite or internet. It truly is a time of the outpouring of the spirit.
This year our beloved prophet, Russel M Nelson, who will be 101 years old in September, attended the last session. His message was prerecorded but his presence was a blessing to all who attended or who listened at home or at a church building.
Hopefully in October we will be watching in Peru.
