Just another email about conference 4/6/2020

Fun story: I just got a call and I have been called to be a District Leader (in charge of a small group of missionaries) and they added another stake to our area as well. Shout out to Elder K for being a district leader as well!!

This week was pretty interesting. The beginning we we didn't have much to do and it was kinda miserable. However, the second half of the week we were like screw it, we are going to work hard because we have nothing else to do. As that happened, we saw that we were both much more happier and a lot less depressed.

I we had more lessons with people as well as the chance to talk to some of my friends (y'all) about the church as well which awesome to see them and talk about what brings me happiness.

General Conference was Saturday and Sunday and it was fantastic. Last General Conference we were told that this one was going to be not only memorable but unforgettable and boy did they pull out all the stops. Went our church building and watched it there. Some highlights were giving the Hosanna Shout with everyone watching. That was a really powerful spiritual experience. I loved Elder Holland's talk about hope and having hope because God loves and Christ's Atonement.

Miracle of the Week: one day I was feeling particularly down and unhappy with what's going on and I was reading in the Book of Mormon. I was studying the story of King Lamoni and his conversion to Jesus and his Gospel and it said "the light which did light up [Lamoni's] mind, which was the light of the glory of God, which was a marvelous light of his goodness—yea, this light had infused such joy into his soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the light of everlasting life was lit up in his soul" (Alma 19:6). When I read this, I noticed how the light and love of God dispelled the darkness in Lamoni's soul and it can do the same for us. This was my answer, to focus on God and let his light and love fill me with joy.
