"Witnessed a Baptism"

Wow is all I can say for this past week. First transfer done and it has been the hardest, craziest, happiest and best weeks ever.

Matthew got baptized. Oh my goodness it was such an amazing day. The gospel of Jesus Christ truly does change people's lives and brings joy. Sister Sharp and I got to be witnesses with the new policy change. It was such a testimony strengthening moment that this is the true church.

General conference was amazing. Everything that was said was what I needed to hear and answers to my questions. One of my favorite things said was when Elder D. Todd Christofferson quoted President Russell M. Nelson when he said "Joy is not based on our circumstances but based on the focus of our lives. Joy comes from the plan of salvation... and when the gospel of Jesus Christ is the center of our lives." This is so true. I have seen that with so many people that I have met. As well as how much joy the gospel brings to people's lives.

I also loved when Presidnt M. Russell Ballard said "we are sons and daughters of God with eternal possibilities." That reminder of who we are and that nothing is impossible with God and Jesus Christ by our sides was exactly what I needed to hear in that moment. So so grateful for conference!
