Well, the church tour as mentioned in last week's Mission Log started off pretty poorly.
First of all, our bishop never showed up, so we started without Priesthood holders, 15 minutes late. We then sent the people off to different rooms with no directions for the transitions - which was chaos! Some groups had three people, some 14. The Young women created their own room without us knowing...
AND IT WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Heavenly Father, and His mercy, we had so many people, we had to set up 4 extra tables just before refreshments!
We were so blessed. We got home and said a prayer of gratitude - I am so grateful. There were 9 non-members there that we'd never met; and, the stake president said we could re-create it on the stake level! :D We are excited.
General Conference was wonderful, as always. Some recurring themes I noticed were:
The Plan of Salvation.
The Godhead.
The Living Christ.
The Holy Ghost.
So, the Gospel basics; pure doctrine. I really liked the opportunity to hear from the prophets and apostles - Their encouragement, gentle rebukes, and wisdom from God. Many of my questions were answered, and the rest were put to rest. :) The Church is true, everybody! I invite all of you to tell someone about it - post it all over Facebook, Twitter. Talk to your neighbor about it! Talk to the checker at Walmart about it! Talk to your co-workers, your sport-team members, your enemies! Share the message of the Gospel NOW - don't wait!
Love you all,
Hermana Smurthwaite
