Regional Conference

We attended a 65 stake Conference at the Conference Center today with Andres' family. Four of the five speakers we know personally. Elder Clayton who also conducted the meeting, Elder Arnold and Elder Andersen and his wife.


 Elder Arnold told of a story of his pet lamb that died and he promised himself never to lose another lamb. His talk was on the last sheep. Hastening the work and reactivation.


Sister Esplin from the Primary spoke on dedicating our time to teach our children. She said "Love is spell TIME" Have religious activities often like praying together, reading scriptures together, family home evening and conversing with one another on gospel topics.


Elder Clayton spoke on measuring up the way her grandmother used to measure how tall her grandchildren were on a pink frame door, it had to be pink because she loved the color pink. How do we measure up before God. Take a challenge to measure up for temple attendance.


Sister Andersen told us how she used to make copies of the Ensign after General Conference to give to each one of her children and grandchildren. Even as a young mother that is what she used for family home evening for the next six months before the next conference.


Elder Andersen was the last speaker and spoke that Davies county has many choice people as residents. (he lives in Bountiful himself) He spoke of Faith, Diligence and Patience. He read the scripture in Alma: 32:42-43 spoke of the new curriculum (where the students are now the teachers)Students don't just listen to lectures but are the ones participating actively on discussion of the topics. They learn as they teach each other. He also told the story of " The Lord does not balance his books in October" When a fellow was bragging how his crops were better than his because he worked on Sundays. Teach the children the importance of the temple.
