General Conference!

Hey Everyone!

   This week was good! I loved General Conference! There is so much to
be learned from the many words of direction and counsel. It is such a
blessing to have a Prophet on the earth today! I invite you to ponder
the words presented in General Conference and apply one principle to
your life that would bring you closer to Christ.
    One of our investigators was able to come to the Sunday morning
session of General Conference! A member family has been really
supportive in having the lessons at their home. On Friday evening, we
had a lesson in their back yard around a fire pit. That was really
cool and the Spirit was strong.
   One of my favorite talks in General Conference was by Dieter F.
Uchtdorf. It was about how we can gain a spiritual witness of the
truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ through sincerely seeking
to know. We must study the word of God and then ask Him of its
truthfulness. But even after we have received that witness, we should
continue adding upon it. President Uchtdorf said, "The process of
gathering spiritual light is the quest of a lifetime." That is so
true! We must always be striving to deepen our testimonies and
conversions. I know that as we seek after the things of God, He will
guide us. The gospel is true and it brings pure and everlasting peace.
    I hope everyone has an absolutely amazing week!

With Love,
Elder Rogers


P.S. We found a little frog on one of our investigator's driveway, so

we took a picture of him!
