Last night, we had an adult session of stake conference. The evening session is my favorite every time!! There are very few kids (=it’s quiet!!) & not as many people.

We had a guest speaker who is a member of the quorum of the seventy. He stood up & said, “I am not going to give the talk that I prepared.” He then went on to give the most amazing, emotional, heartfelt talk that I have ever heard in my life. His subject was that there in nothing that presses on the soul that the atonement of Jesus Christ cannot cover. Sometimes, it’s easy to say, “Oh, they don’t know how bad my life is! They cannot possibly understand how horrible my life is.” He told experience after experience from his life & I realized that he knows. His wife accidentally backed the car over a son. His 14-year-old daughter ended up missing in New York City. His 17-year-old son walked away & said, “I want nothing to do with you or the church ever again.” Miracles happened and time passed and things eventually work themselves out.

And no atongue can speak, neither can there be written by any man, neither can the hearts of men conceive so great and marvelous things as we both saw and heard Jesus speak; and no one can conceive of the joy which filled our souls at the time we heard him pray for us unto the Father.

It was like that. So special. So emotional. So sacred. So filled with the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. I am so glad that we were there.
