Stake conference

Today was the sunday session of stake conference. There are times where I do not want to attend church and more so stake conference because it's a struggle with my sweet babies, yet, my Sunday auto pilot kicks in and I go anyway. Today, I am especially grateful that we went, not for the talks but for the music. As the choir sang "All creatures of our God and king", precious memories from the mission surfaced. However, the most powerful was the closing number by the choir "I believe in Christ", I felt the words pierced my heart and spoke directly to me, especially the verse about tribulations and that He is always there and we shall triumphantly overcome. A few tears rolled down my cheek and I know that he was and is there to wipe them away. The Spirit confirmed that again for me today. I know my Savior lives and knows me. The conference had an emphasis on sabbath day observance. I also took away to invite others to be in and a part of our lives. Invite people for dinner,  a drink, service, or anything really. Edifying one another (members and non members).
