General conference

Hey fam

This last weekend we all had the amazing opportunity to listen to God's representatives here on earth. They are all so amazing! A theme that me and my companion took out of all of conference was the focus on families. In every single talk the speaker either focused on family, family relations, ways to build families, or how their topic helped fortify families. It is so true that our most important calling on this earth is to help our families and children on the path to exaltation. With the guidance of the Lord and his servants there is no need to fear to have a family in this world. Another theme that we got was how it is all just so simple. Follow the prophet and you will be blessed. Like what it says in DyC whether by my voice or by the voice of my servants it is the same. I have no doubt that saturday and sunday in all five of those sessions we were listening to what our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ wanted us to hear.

My favorite talks had to have been of course the prophet, Elder Bednar, Elder Holland, Uncle Larry (loved your talk Larry), Elder Perry, Pres. Uchtdorf, and all of them were just amazingly good. You could see so much that so many of them were focusing on faith, hope, and charity. Especially when you listen to Elder Holland and Elder Uchtdorfs talks. One thing that i really did find interesting was what Elder Holland said, "There is always time to repent, but you better hurry. Its getting late." We are in the last days. It just shows more and more how much we need to cling to the gospel, hold fast to the iron rod, and do what we have to do. I have always enjoyed the measurement that the leaders of the church have to help us out; always be worthy to hold a temple recommend. What i love so much about conference is first off, i actually get it and know the importance of it. (haven't taken a nap once, go me) and second how it just gives us such a huge boost to get better and to grow. now i cant wait till we get the Liahona with the talks so i can mark it all up!!!!

We had 4 huge miracles at conference, Sulmi, Enzo, Quitin, and Maria all came and they all felt the spirit. Sulmi is a huge miracles she is getting baptized on saturday. Quintin is just wow and he came all by himself and loved it so much. It is truly what he needs at this moment. The Lord is blessing us so much here in Sajonia I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! working hard and having fun. with elder horton we are very much enjoying ourselves.

well changes are on weds. should i stay or should i go. i don't know. what i do know though is that i will serve with all of my might to help Gods children know His gospel and His love. that is my calling and that is what i will do.

love you all so much. my prayers go to you daily and i'm so thankful for all of your prayers.

Elder Wilson
