Hello everyone,
So conference was FANTASTIC!!! Before I go on about it I will
let you know how it works over here:
Saturday
1-3pm We watched the Relief Society session
5-7pm We watched Saturday morning Session Live
Sunday
1-3pm We watched Saturday evenings session
not live
5-7pm We watched Sunday mornings session Live
We were not able to watch sunday evenings and we wont get the
sunday evenings session talks til we get our ensign in January. A bit of a wait
but all that i watched was fabulous. Then mission age was such a shock! That is
super exciting and means more sisters will be coming out here in the up coming
months. So great!!!! My favorite talk I think was about the 'first observe,
then serve'. It seems that we seem to wait til someone has a baby or a
death in the family to serve. Don't get me wrong people need service at that
time but everyday there is definitely someone around us that needs maybe just a
small act of service. Maybe just a call or help with cleaning. If we just look
around us, God will open our eyes to see what is need to help one of His
children's burdens be lighten through us. Which brings me to what seems to be
the theme of conference. The Lord CAN use us but we have to open ourselves up
to it. We need to pray for opportunities to bring the blessings of the Lord to
people. But when we pray for that we need to be willing to act on the
promptings. I feel like it was mentioned at least in 4 talks. I just loved
conference!! We watched it at the Church building and quite a bit of members
showed up. Also 2 investigators came and sean was able to make it too
priesthood.
Alright one cool story about one of the investigators that came.
Last week we went to city centre with the Elders and did some general
conference finding. We had a table set up and told people about general
conference and prophets. One lady that one of the elders talked to and invited
that I met also in City Centre came to conference. That is neat but the super
neat thing that happened was.... Before the morning session on saturday, Sister
Harris and I were sitting by her and she was expressing the concerns of the
immorality that is going on in the world and asked our stance on it. We briefly
went over it and we put our trust in the Lord and told her that she will most
likely hear a talk today about it. Lo and behold Elder Cooks talk! AND Sister
Dibbs. She was very pleased and so was I. God truly knows what ALL His children
need. It was a sweet experience to see how it all tied together. She said it
went a bit long and didn't come sunday but said she will come to institute on
thursday and church next sunday! AWESOME!!!
Well my last bit of info to share with you all is about
moves.... Which I will not be doing. I will be staying here with Sister
Peterson. I sure will miss Sister Harris alot! She was a huge blessing to serve
with! I love her lots but she will do well in Scotland.
Well I love you all and hope your week is grand!
Love, Sister Nicoll
