Stake Conference

Today and yesterday we had conference with Elder Coleman of the Seventy. He gave some good talks about the Family. He stressed that the Family is the core of society and that we need to strengthen our families and guide them. The world is becoming more and more lax when it comes to family values and if people had an eternal perspective about Heavenly Father's plan more people would strive for stronger family ties. I am grateful that Lindsay and I can start a family together and have this great direction in our lives.

Elder Coleman also talked about how Jesus Christ taught by many different ways when he was on Earth. He knew that many people learned different ways so you have to teach different. One example of this was the way he healed the blind. For one man he took spittle and placed it on his eyes. For another he told to go and see and for another he touched his eyes. This is a great lesson that there is no cookie cutter way to do things. Sometimes you have to pray to find the best way to help people unique to their situation.

Today ours Stake President Pugmire gave a good lesson on his testimony of the gospel. He said that he was glad that the Gospel embraces all truth no matter where it is and that is all that is important in life that we seek after truth and embrace it.
