2 Hour Church?

Conference is the best! There were so many amazing talks and so many incredible things that were said this past weekend. For one, I can't even believe they are changing the time for church... I used to hate how long it was but now it's just natural. I love how the church is making our conversion a lot more personal with god. It's going to be a lot harder to be a "fence sitter." Either you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, or you are not. I also think it's so great to have that spirituality move to the home. "Stand he in holy places" right? It is now becoming more important to make our homes holy places where the spirit can dwell.

On a different note. We almost set a date with Eddie! He said he would think about it and we made sure that he would also pray about it and include god in his decision. We meet with him again on Wednesday so fingers crossed. Other than that, finding and finding and more finding. Sergio is there too! That's always fun! 

I guess there wasn't anything too special that happened besides General Conference... oh and my bday! I'm finally not a teenager. So yay for that! I got taken out to lunch by a senior couple to this really good Italian place, other than that, just a good birthday dinner. It was good. Weird being away from my family though. And all my friends. But thank you all for the birthday wishes! 

Elder Chipman cooked so much food for my bday <3

My thought is from General Conference. I loved something Elder Gerard said, or quoted. He says "If there is anything in your life you need to consider, now is the time." I've thought about that multiple times. I look back at all the priorities I had while I was growing up and realize that they have no eternal importance. I will admit, sometimes it frustrates me and makes me wish that I had gotten my priorities straight and maybe my life would be different. Although we shouldn't dwell on the past, it's important to learn from it. All I can do is move forward with my priorities in the right order. 

Thanks for your sweet spirits! I'd encourage you to study the talks that were given this past weekend. They are for us and our time. Have a great week!!!! 

Love Elder Larson
