Conference is Coming!

Yesterday for USU Religion in life Sister Elaine Dalton came and spoke to the institute.  Guys.  I love her.  She is an amazing speaker, but that's nothing new.  Her whole talk was phenomenal - she talked about how we can make decisions and get answers because we are "called."  She said that as the work of the Lord's gospel is hastening, we have more and more opportunities.  We also have more challenges.  She told us that when she was set apart by President Monson, she was blessed that she would "see the youth of  the church the way Heavenly Father sees them."  She said that when she was released she thought this would stop, but it hasn't - she promised us, because she was blessed by a prophet of God to know this, that Heavenly Father does indeed love us and that we are not ordinary.  She said, "in fact I am honored and privileged to be speaking to you today."  She was honored!! Because we are "highly favored."  She pointed out several people in the scriptures who were highly favored and it was because they were faithful in the prelife as they were in their earth life.  But if we sat at Christ's feet and were tutored by him in prelife, then why did we need to exercise faith?  Because all of us to have ever walked the earth had to have faith in the Savior in saying, "I know the plan will work because I know Jesus Christ."  So WE are here!  Now.  And we need to remember that we are indeed highly favored of the Lord.  He loves us.  But with this, we have great responsibility and cannot delay in the work!  

I love the leaders (or past leaders) of our church and I feel so blessed to have heard from sweet sister Dalton.  I cannot WAIT to hear from more of our leaders next week!  The church is true, ya'll!  I know it.  I live it.  I love it.  

Don't forget to watch conference!!
