Conference

We had a regional/stake conference this week-end. It was wonderful to sit at the feet of apostles and other leaders and listen to their counsel for us. Our Stake Leaders also gave us sage and poignant advice on Saturday. What a wonderful time it is to be alive and to have the gospel restored on the earth in its fulness and to be partakers of this wonderful gift and promise. I feel to exclaim as did Jacob: How great the goodness of our God! He is wonderful. He is forgiving. He sent His Son so He could forgive us if we ask and truly repent. He has given us all. He has shared His Power with us through the Priesthood. He has provided us this beautiful world and all that in it is. He has provided us His Spirit, His Testator, the Holy Ghost to prompt and guide us. We have access to the Holy Ghost as a "constant companion" as we are true and faithful. He has provided us commandments and guides to help us return to Him. He wants us to come home. He has provided eternal families and ordinances so that we can be a forever family. He allows us to choose peace and eternal life or captivity and death. He provides us hope and salvation. We choose whom to we serve. There is nothing more important to me than the gospel and my relationship with my God. Because if I am good with him, I am good with my dear, sweet wife and my children. There is no other God but our God. He is mighty to save, He is mighty to love, He is my joy and my light, He is my God! I appreciate how reflective I am after conference.
