Conference was amazing! Being at the MTC, as a missionary....watching conference was the greatest experience of my life thus far! (NO dad I did not get to meet Uchtdorf, no I did NOT ask, cause I'm not trying to be the weird kid in class!...sorry)
Yesterday the missionaries at the MTC got the honor of seeing a group of men from BYU who sang acapella (Pitch Perfect Style) it was awesome!
After that my zone and I went to watch a talk Elder Bednar gave on Christmas last year at the MTC. The talk was titled "The Character of Christ". In order to become like Christ we must put off the natural man. Bednar uses the example of Christ in Matthew 4......Christ fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, he was then tempted by Satan. In verse 11..."then the devil leaveth him and behold and angels came and ministered unto him" The footnote "angels" means and....now Jesus knew that John was cast into prison and he sent angels and behold, they came and ministered unto him. Christ didn't eat for 40 days and 40 nights...and HE SENT ANGELS TO MINISTER UNTO JOHN WHOM WAS IN PRISON! He wasn't worried about himself, he was worried about John and knew what he needed. The character of Christ is love, compassion and service unto others. As members of the church and sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven we should be on a pathway to Heaven! We have to be converted to him. If one of our Apostles were to fall away from the church, to teach false doctrine.....it should not affect us, if we are converted to Christ. Our testimony leads to conversion. But, testimony alone is not enough. A testimony is knowing but, true conversion is living what we know! When we apply the atonement of Christ the Lord, we can put off the natural man. Returning back to find everlasting joy and happiness. After that talk I am hoping, striving, and praying that the Greatest Convert On My Mission Is ME!
Love you like a Fat Kid loves cake!Sis Z
