Yesterday we had the privilege of attending a "special" Stake Conference. You see, we just had Stake Conference 2 months ago. But yesterday we had one simply because Elder Holland was in town and we were the lucky stake that got to hear from him. Elder Holland has always been a favorite of mine to listen to. He is so down to earth and has such a powerful, inspiring testimony. And while much of his talk was geared toward the youth, he had much to say that applied to all of us. One of my favorite parts was at the end. With the authority that he holds he gave us all (including those that weren't there) and Apostolic blessing. One of true power, hope and happiness. He also mentioned that "this is a gospel with a happy ending". And in times when life is not always happy that surely is a great comfort! I am so grateful for my membership in this church and for the faith that keeps me going. What a blessing it was to hear from an Apostle of the Lord! And while our kids are still too young to remember this day, I hope that they are learning of the truth and Spirit that accompanied us.
