Today was Stake Conference, and I really enjoyed it. My most favorite talk was the one by President Dalton. She spoke about honoring the Lord by keeping His commandments. If you do that, the Lord will honor you. That really excited me, and it strengthened my spirit, and made me want to try harder to do His will. :) It was very inspiring. Today I also felt very moved by the Holy Ghost about my future; something I've been pondering over for awhile. Just to state it simply, my life's work will be high school English teaching and small business owning. But none of it is going to work out unless I develop an ever stronger relationship with my Savior and keep on learning new things. I'm excited for what the future has in store.
The youth fireside that went on tonight was fantastic too. The Bishop from Ashland spoke at it, and he's amazing! You could really feel the spirit through his preaching. He was talking about receiving the Holy Ghost, like receiving a football. The guy threw a football at Noah IN THE CHAPEL. He also included some paper airplane throwing and gift unwrapping. I have never seen such action in a chapel before! Abraham was such a good receiver and received all things. We can receive all things and become exalted, just like he was. It just takes practice. Just the small things. The simple primary answers: Pray, study, go to church, etc. I want to get to the level of having the gift of the Holy Ghost with me always. That is the main goal of my life.
Scriptures suggested for read in the fireside: John 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
In between general conference and the youth fireside, the youth in our ward went over to the Wrights for lunch. It was fun! I got to see Carmen again, and she showed me this scrapbook/journal that she had been making while she was in the U.S. Almost all of the writing was in Spanish, but I enjoyed looking at all of the pictures and little reminding things that she had kept. Recording life is very important. It's useful for reflection too.
A GREAT WEEK IS DAWNING... (key change) DAAAWWNING!
Great! Keenan
ReplyDeleteThis is a really useful diary because it can remind many people who read it to "recognize" if they miss anything important for their life or not. I saw you wrote about the meeting at our house. Yesterday was a great day for me too. I'm sorry for didn't talk to you. Sometimes I'm a little bit crazy. Keep doing this Keenan. See you later.
