Wow!

Yesterday, I attended the first ever mission-wide mission conference. Attending were Elder Lawrence, counselor in the Europe East Area 70, and President Clayton, of the Presidency of the 70 and their wives. Majority of the conference was question and answer.

The conference was so wonderful. The impact of this conference will far outlast the time of the conference itself.

I was impressed by the importance of prayer, and the accessibility of spiritual gifts to each and every one of us. I felt my testimony strengthened of the ministering of angels. I was taught how better to study. I was touched by Sister Clayton's example of kindness and gratitude. She and I had the opportunity to talk for a few minutes after the conference. I learn about the Savior as I interact with his servants. He hears the desires of our hearts and grants liberally and upbraids not. What a wonderful work this is. What a wonderful God we serve. He invites us all to know him. Thank you for your own examples. Thank you for your prayers.

Sister Paul
