I can't tell you
enough how much I love General Conference. And what was truly amazing is that I
was able to take several questions to the different sessions of Conference and
you will never believe it. I got answers to ALL of my questions! Yeah, not just
one or two answers but every single question I had was answered with a
resounding impact on me, so much that I cannot deny how much our Father in
Heaven knows us, and he doesn't just know us as a cluster of his children, but
he knows us, each of us so personally. He knows what we are going through and
He knows the ups and the downs and He knows you better than you know yourself.
Something else that I found was super interesting was that not one of the
speaker came out and said "Sister Wade, here is your answer. This is what
you need to do." But it was by the subtle feelings of the Spirit that I
was able to receive answers. I know that the Spirit teaches all of us, but we
get the choice to listen with our Spiritual ears and hear the whispers of the
spirit or to listen with only our physical ears. The choice is ours. Buuuuutttt
for those of you that didn't catch it during the Saturday Afternoon Session
that President Eyring mentioned Albuquerque and when he served his mission here
and it was so exciting, and all of us missionaries just loved it.(:
But anyways, we
have been teaching this girl named, Kelsey, and she is seriously the cutest
little mom ever. She is Native American and she is just so cute. We have been
struggling to get her to come to church and a miracle happened because she
drove all the way across town to come and watch General Conference with us. And
when she came she brought her little girl, Kasey who is four, and Kasey sat
through conference completely quite just listening and THEN she told us she was
so excited and wanted to come to the Sunday Session of Conference too!! It was
seriously such a huge miracle, and we were all so excited(:
I just love being
a missionary and love seeing the Lord's hand in all things. I know that he is
there. I know that His Son lives and that He knows each of us. If we turn to
Him we will see that He has always been waiting for us to come to Him and
partake of the blessings he has to offer. I love this gospel with everything
that I am.
Love you all so
much! Have the best day ever!
-Sister Wade
FUN FACTS:
1. So we met this
cute family at Conference that were refugees from Africa and they came to watch
the prophet speak even though they didn't really even speak English. In fact
only the dad new a little, but they were being taught by missionaries in Africa
and they knew how important keeping the Sabbath day Holy and listening to the
prophet is so they came. And they said they want to be baptized so yeah!!
2. We were calling former
investigators and called this lady named Maria and she told us she was so
excited we called and wanted us to come by, so we did and come to find out she
is already a member in the Spanish Branch! haha who knew!!
