What a crazy week! Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty
average, just tracking down Karenni all over the Salt Lake Valley. Thursday was
Zone Conference, so that was really a powerful experience. Then, Friday we just
had weekly planning and then played chit-lo with some Burmese guys.
Then General Conference happened. What an amazing
conference! Wow! It truly was incredible to be a part of such history in the
hastening of the Lord's work, and continuation of the Restoration, in
preparation for the Second Coming of the Lord! I too watched all 5 sessions, 2 of
them at the Conference Center - the Priesthood session (9th row back!) and
Sunday morning session (front of the second section). Glad you got those
pictures from Brother Laudie, and glad I was able to attend the Priesthood Session.
An hour before it started we got 2 tickets. But we had 4 lessons scheduled, and
dinner. Then after a few phone calls and such, we ended up with just the right
amount of time to drive there, be ushered in the special guest door (that’s
what our tickets were for) and then sit down and get that first rush of
revelation. It was an incredible experience to listen to the prophet of Lord
dictate revelation from God. What an exciting new era it is. I was so grateful
to be able to stand and sustain President Russell M Nelson as the living
Prophet, as well as the other members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the
Twelve Apostles, with Elder Gong and Elder Soares as the new apostles. What
an incredible weekend for sure.
It has been a crazy fun opportunity to serve these amazing
people here in Salt Lake City. I never want to leave, and luckily I still have
plenty of time! It is amazing! Sunday night we had some lessons lined up, but
then a member invited us to an activity, which some of our investigators were
at. So we stopped in, and EVERY person we were going to teach was there playing
soccer. So this Friday we are going to go play with them, and baptize them
all!
I love being a missionary so much! I am so grateful to
Our Savior Jesus Christ for His atoning sacrifice, death, and resurrection.
Because He overcame all, we can overcome all.
I love you all!
Elder Adams
