We had stake conference today and it was really great, we got to hear from Elder Alan Packer, who is President Packer's son. All the talks were great and the spirit was very strong. It's really great the things that can happen when the spirit is present, if a speaker has the spirit with them and if you're working to have the spirit with you as well, then you will hear what you need to hear, even if it's not actually what the speaker is saying. It's so wonderful to be able to have personal inspiration and revelation.
I was in the choir and so I was sitting up on the stand and it was fun and interesting to look out and see people in the stake. I saw a kid I'd been on youth council with four years before and it was crazy to see how grown up he'd gotten. There are all these boys that I haven't seen or thought about in years who are now going on or just getting back from missions; one of my friends just got back last night, I hadn't thought much about him for a while but it was so exciting to unexpectedly see him again. It was especially cool to see another boy who'd been on youth council, he just got back from his mission to Germany, he's such a cool kid, he was born with a disability so that it's hard for him to walk, his twin is completely normal but despite his disabilities, he's always happy and positive and smiling. It's strange to see how people change while you're gone, how grown up they get.
