General conference

.

I am so great full that I got to listen to Prophets, apostles, and general authorities at conference this week. I am sad that conference is over, but I learned so much from listening to them. I learned a lot on my ten questions that I wrote down and wanted to have answered. They were answered. One of the questions that I had was what can I do to become a better missionary? I got a ton of answers from these general authroities when they were speaking. Some of them were listen to everyone (including investigators, recent converts & Members) I also know that we need to protect my investigators, recent converts, and members. I also found out that I need to listen to the Holy Ghost and this will help our me and the investigators. Another question that I had was how I can help my investigators? I came to the answer that I can help my investigators, but helping them repent of their sins. Also if I want to help them repent of their sins then I need to repent of my sins as well. I also learned that I can help investigators by teaching them to build their foundation like a rock, because when storms, floods, and winds come (satan's temptations) then they and I will have a strong foundation and satan will not be able to get to me. Another way that I can help my investigators is by bearing my testimony to them, because no one can take a way from my testimony, and it will always stick to their heart. Another thing about general conference that I loved is ElderNelson referred to his thought he gave the last general conference which was to "Ask the misssionaries."



Which is great, because it provides more investigators for the missionaries to teach (including those missionaries who take the Mormon.org chats) I invite all who have questions to come and ask us questons. Especially those individuals who are not members of the church but have questions to learn more about our church. If you are interested here is the link.
Another talk that I liked was PResident Monson's talk on how we need to be obedient not only to God, but also our parents. 
As I said before though I got a lot of my questions answered from this years general conference. Some of my favorite talks were Elder Jeffry R. Hollands talk. It talked a lot about how I need to love everyone and help everyone out. 
I would invite all who see this post to review the talks that were given and write down the impressions that you get. I can promise you that as you do and as you follow the councel given that your lives will be blessed. I am so great full for conference and it is sad it is over, but that just means tha tI have things to improve on and I can do that until the next general conference comes in 6 months. 
I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. I know that God is our loving Heavenly Father. I know this from general conference. General authorities talked about it and I have seen it in my life. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that he restored the  Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints back to the earth. I know that we have a living Prophet who leads and guides our church, and his name is President Thomas S. Monson. I know that God will bless us as we follow these Prophets teachings. I know that God will answer our prayers, and that again He loves us and wants us to do what is right. Again I invite everyone who reads this post to review the general conference talks.

GENERAL CONFERENCE:

When Apostles and Prophets speak to us.





I am so great full for the opportunity to watch general conference this coming week (April 6-7) I am so excited to hear from apostles and Prophets to lead and guide me in what I need to do to return and live with my Heavenly Father in the next life. I am so excited to hear what they have to say. I am excited to take notes, and listen to these people. I know that they have been called of God to teach us, just like the Prophets and apostles that are in the  Book of Mormon. I can't wait to watch it online and hear the words which the Lord has told the Prophets to speak to us.

I invite everyone to watch conference and take notes on the feelings that you get. I can promise that as you do that your lives will be blessed. Just like this video talks about how we listen with an open heart one of these Prophets or general authorities will touch you and answer your question(s) I invite everyone to pray about questions that you have and then watch conference, I know that as you listen that one of these General authorities will answer your question as you listen with an open heart.
