Week 48

Hey everyone!

So, Elder Allen F. Packer was here over the last week and we had a Conference with him and he spoke at a fireside in the Ashton stake which I was able to go to. He spoke of a number of different subjects but I will sum it up like this.

Fireside

He spoke of a question and answer session he had in London over the weekend with the YSA and one of the YSA asked about how they could be safe and happy in the world we live in. Well, he acknowledged like we all need to the disasters of the world going in depth with them. He then spoke of the scriptures and the signs of the times. He rejoiced in the time that we live in. He explained the reason he has found peace is the understanding of the Plan of Salvation. He then taught the Plan of Salvation for the many many investigators that were not there going in detail about Where we came from? and Why we are here? He also shed light for everyone on Who we really are?

Conference

The whole day was focused on the Spirit. President spoke of 7 ways the Gift of the Holy Ghost can help us. Sister Packer spoke of 3 things we need to invite the spirit and explained that yes, the Holy Ghost does get offended easily. He cannot tolerate sin in the slightest thought, word, or action. Even in the houses where we live if we have been slothful in our upkeep our ability to feel the spirit is affected. (Definitely a past mission mom right Aunt Jan!?)

Elder Packer then spoke of D&C 107:99. He explained that the spanish version of the scriptures had 2 footnotes while the english had 1. Replace the let with allow.
