Sister Kendra Reynolds: Episide 24: I LOVE General Conference!!!

~A Wall of Inspiration~

go where the peace is...Bring Your Own Sparkle...got this...This is My Happy Place :)

Okay, quick testimony of this gospel...have I expressed how much I love General Conference?!?!??? How cool is it that we get to hear from our Prophet and Apostles and other leaders of the church? I can't even begin to think about all that I have learned and want to implement into my life immediately!! I felt the messages were for me and I was able to apply each of the talks into my life! Crazy how God does that right? I love the Holy Ghosts' role in my life. For Him to be my constant companion, nothing against all my companions but He is the best!!! For Him to be there with me at all times is the greatest gift given. I have been studying a lot about the Godhead and Their roles in our individual lives and how important it is to be living righteously so we may know the things the Lord would have us know. My favorite is the times when the Holy Ghost simply, but powerfully testifies of the love my Savior and my Heavenly Father have for me. How important it is to keep our relationship with the Holy Ghost.

Onto the things of this week! So it was purposefully a slower week haha. After the craziness we have experienced, we made sure we had the time to study and rejuvenate our spirits and be able to focus on General Conference. But we had amazing lessons with people and did a lot of service! While helping a family move some rocks, we found a couple of frogs and of course being the Disney princess I am, I had to kiss it hahahaha. It was totally one of the highlights of the week! Not going to lie, the mission is getting pretty hard knowing I'm coming up on my halfway point! But knowing I have others still counting on me to share the gospel with them is so humbling. Knowing I have such an amazing support group back home and even here is comforting. More importantly, knowing I have the Savior to lean on and follow in His footsteps until I can return back to His side. I'm deeply grateful for the time to be able to serve for my Father in Heaven. I'm even more grateful for the opportunity to have my own testimony grow and see the fruits of the spirit in action. In General Conference someone said "Greater happiness comes from greater personal holiness." Let us always remember that this road may not be nice and smoothly paved but can be a like a rocky incline. When our journey gets hard, remember that as long as we hold fast to the gospel and its teachings, we can receive the specific guidance we need to swiftly move past all the dangerous paths. I love this gospel, I love my Redeemer, I love my Father in Heaven. I am so grateful to have you all who read about my crazy east coast adventures and to support me in my decision to serve a mission!! Thank you and I love you all!!
