General Conference

BONJOUR à TOUS!

PARIS TEMPLE o ya! berets all around! :)

Conference was renewing I especially loved Elder Erying's talk (in priesthood) as well as Elder Christopherson who spoke on repentance. We missed the Sunday afternoon session because of the time change but i like reading Elder Oaks and Elder Nelson better than watching. It was very frustrating because we had planned on having quite a few people at church for it but only 4 showed up.

We had a miracle! A chilian who has been living in france for the past 30 years-- saw the lights on in the church and just walked in! His name is Roberto and that NEVER EVER EVER happens! The Lord blesses us when we do all we can do to accomplish all that he asks. We have been fasting once a week and workin 8 days a week and are seeing the fruits of our labors. The Gospel has been restored!

Elder Jeffery R Holland during the priesthood session rocked he reminds me of the FIRE Grandpa has! We must be related to him.
In past conferences,I usually took notes and at the end had a nice overview of what the speaks topics were. However, during conference I looked for more personal answers and epistles and less mundain note taking. Here are some things I had come into my mind from the speakers.

Many talked about the good the bad the happy the sad the easy the hard. But true character is shown when we learn from the bad, sad and hard times and find solutions to our current challenges and challenges to come.
Life is driven with a windsheild and a rearview mirror so look ahead and if needs be repent and back up.

The Priesthood can only be used to bless the lives of others ---it is impossible to give a personal priesthood blessing.

I love serving here in Montpellier and its definatly tough to balance and do everything that needs to be done but I have seen daily the hands of the Lord in my life. I am so grateful for the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the purifing power of prayer and daily repentance.
