Yesterday we had a conference with Elder Palmer the Area General Authority from the Quorum of the 70. He came to our church and I walked around with him from class to class translating for him as he spoke to the members.
The Conference was really good. We were asked to read some talks to prepare for it. Tad R. Callister's talk on the Book of Mormon was one. It was really good and insightful about how true that book really is and the miracle of it. The other one that I read was David A. Bednar's talk about the relationship between testimony and conversion. A really good quote from it was, "A testimony is knowing something is true. Conversion is staying true to what you know." We may already know or have a testimony that the gospel is true. Being converted means that you stay true to that testimony whether it is convenient or not.
Funny story from the week: The other day we were driving home in a taxi. As we were getting close to the house, a crazy lady walking and talking like a Raptor from Jurassic Park comes towards our car. At this moment Elder Wolfgram starts rolling up his window and shouting at the driver to keep going even though we were just about to stop. He stress-fully switched into gear and pulls into our walled off driveway. The Taxi drivers instantly started to laugh hysterically. It was pretty funny.
Sincerely,
Elder Allen
