General Conference

Hello!

What a wonderful week. We had two Zone conferences and then General Conference. We have been feasting on the gospel of Jesus Christ and we are stuffed!!
How I love feeling the tremendous love of God as his servants speak to us. It is the most wondrous feeling after hearing Elder Holland speak knowing just the amount of effort each speaker gives to preparing their talk.Knowing the their pleas to the Father to have His spirit as they prepare can be felt as we listen to them. I really appreciated Elder Paul V. Johnson about Pain and adversity. I am loved. I realized that my accident was what I needed to soften my heart and to turn my soul to Christ. I still have to work on anger and patience and loving with my whole heart and not holding back. So growth is sometimes a very uncomfortable experience. Sam and Kristen You have to be the most loved people on the planet. You are dealing with your struggles with grace and patience. You are wonderful examples of followers of Christ.Didn't Elder Scott's talk just make you cry. I am going to better about loving my Ralphie. I have done the love notes in his pockets for years but not recently. I pray for him vocally when we have difficult things going on but am I loving all the time? No. How do you become meek and submissive and hold on to your identity? And why is that so important? If your heart, might, mind and strength is focused on doing things the Lords way then it is the Lord that matters and his example is how things are done. I may get there some day right now I am still and Ephraimite. AN OX !

We are well and are looking foreword to going to Bulgaria and the Baltic countries the end of the month. We will be going with the Parks and the Humpherys,two other missionary couples. The Parks to renew their visas and the Humpherys to do PR training.

Thank you so much for the letters and e-mail. It means so much to have mail, either kind is fine. Dave and Maren get gold stars. Steve you do too. It was really nice to talk to many of you on Skype and Magic Jack. I love you all so much. Hold to the ROD and do it with both hands.
Love Sister Mayberry
