General Conference !!

Dear Friends and Family,

I hope everyone had an awesome conference weekend. I love general conference (see below). As I prepared to hear the leaders of the church speak this weekend I reflected on how grateful I am that we have a prophet. There are a lot of crazy things that are going on in the world today and it can be really easy to get discouraged or overwhelmed. But we don't need to feel that way. If we listen to the council given by the prophet and other leaders of the church we will find peace and refuge amidst the craziness of everyday life. I also reflected on how much I took for granted watching conference in sweatpants. You can't do that as a missionary and not going to lie I missed it.

I loved all the talks but Elder Bednar's and Elder Ballards were two of my favs. I also loved what the prophet spoke about, that it is more important to walk as Christ walked rather than where he walked. I'm grateful to know that he has already walked the path and he knows exactly how hard it is. i am grateful that he invites us to walk with him so that we don't have to face this world alone. 
 
I am excited to go back and study the talks more. That is the best part about general conference is that we get to continue to study and learn from the speakers even after it is done!

Thanks as always for the emails, letters, prayers, and support.
Love
Sister Aase
