General Conference is like the Super Bowl

 is one´s for the masses,
    so if you missed GC than you missed out on pure awesomeness. all of the speakers were totally doing work and there isnt one of them that didnt get inspired by our friend the holy ghost. all this week in the mission with the other missionaries there was like a buzz that we all felt. General Conference is like the super bowl here. we bought doritos, sandwich supplies, set up a table right in front of the little 7 inch tv we got to watch it on, and we were ready to go. we watched all of the pre-game shows for all the sessions. when they would pan the camera over the front stand where everyone was sitting all the missoinaries would point out their favorites like they were seeing famous bball or football players before a game. but these players were a million times better than any sports player that people recognize. not only did the speakers talk super powerfully but they brought the spirit. most times when we are tought we dont really remember what the people said, but if they bring the spirit then he will teach you what you need to learn and get out of it. its like reading between the lines when the spirit teaches you stuff. ive always kind of neglected general conference and used it as a day that i didnt have to go to church, but i found that its the best thing there is in every 6 months. back in the days of like moses and nephi they tought alot and preached alot, but only the people who were actually where he was got to hear him and feel his words. with us we have a prophet with the same authority as those guys and we get to watch and hear him from across the world in the language that we know. its way cool. i love you all. my favorite talks were the ones on desire, pain, to be or not to be, and all the ones talking about self reliance. the talks about delaying marriage were funny too. love elder hayden summers

  2. Awesome attitude toward conference. My favorite session is always the Friday night Priesthood session even though it is not on TV yet.
