We had Stake Conference this weekend and it was so wonderful. Elder Richard G. Hinckley came and it was neat to see how much he really looks like and sounds like President Hinckley. It made me miss him. There were some powerful things said this weekend. The biggest message that I personally got from all the talks combined was about the importance of people. The principle of relationships really does play a large part in the gospel I believe. They talked about service and about forgiveness and about kindness. A member of the mission presidency said that the word "kind" is really an acronym for Know, Invite, Now, and Daily prayer. I left conference with a desire to be a true servant of the Lord by getting rid of selfish desires or habits and becoming a SERVANT to everyone.
The congregation hymn half way in was Praise to the Man and that was another significant part of conference for me. What a cool song! I love the prophet Joseph Smith and the spirit bore witness to me today that he really was a prophet of the Lord. Gosh, the church really is so true and it's truer and truer in my heart as I learn from the scriptures and from our leaders :)
