We had a multi-stake Conference today to add one new stake and make a few other changes. Our stake has a new name it's now called Central and the new stake will inherit the name of Independencia which used to be the name of our stake. A little confusing for some members but with time, people will get used to. With this new addition the DR has now 20 stakes. One thing is constant and that is change!
What I liked about the meeting is that I was inspire to teach about testimonies to the kids in Primary and today half of the meeting was dedicated for all the new people called to bear their testimonies. It was almost like if I had known about what would happen today. I loved listening to the Flakes, our new Elder Acosta and Elder Andersen.
He said a few things that touched my heart. One was the story of the pipe organ Vs. electric organ. The pipe organ is so much more expensive and he didn't think it was necessary to get it nevertheless he accepted and gave the needed contribution but let the Bishop know how he felt and that is when he learned the lesson that the leaders might make mistakes but our hearts should always sustained them. Little did he knew that his wife was going to be called to be the organist and she can tell the difference between a pipe organ which is ten times better. When he talks he doesn't say anything about him leaving the area but you can tell he is saying good bye as he gets emotional warning people to repent and to endure to the end.
