Conference was AMAZING!

Dear Family and friends,

Well conference was AMAZING!!! I forgot to bring my notes to the library but that is ok. First, I LOVED President Packer's talk. Man I love that guy. I also loved Elder Bednar's talk, layin' the smack down on the law of chastity. Elder Ellis' talk was cool too.

President Schaefermeyer has really been stressing the true nature of our Heavenly Father. That is the first point that we teach in the first lesson. If people don't understand that our Heavenly Father is our REAL FATHER, that we can approach Him and have a real relationship with Him, they can't really progress. With people who aren't progressing, he told us to go over the real nature of our Heavenly Father. He has a body of flesh and bone. He is an exalted, glorified being and perfect in every way. We can pray to Him, and He can send His Spirit to us to make us feel His love. I liked the story about how as a stake president, everyone who was moving to the area called him and asked him which ward was the best. But only one time, someone called him and asked which ward needs a good family. That was awesome.

Over the weekend I heard a lot of talks about Obedience!! It is the first law of Heaven. If we aren't obedient, we can't receive the blessings that our Heavenly Father wants to give to us!!! Like Elder Perry said, Obedience is Liberty. His talk was awesome. I love when Apostles and Prophets get in your face and call you out about what you need to improve on. There is always something that we need to improve on! Let’s do it!

We also had a baptism between conference sessions on Sunday. Flabia de la Rosa was baptized. It was an awesome service. Conference and a baptism? Can't get much better than that. We also had a BUNCH of investigators come out to conference. It was awesome for them to hear the words of God's chosen servants here on earth. Hopefully it will give them a little push to act a little more, and to experiment upon our words.

Well, we are wearing short sleeve shirts at last!! It is supposed to be 70's 80's here this week, which is a REAL blessing. Spring is here at last. Just in time for summer haaha.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MARCUS?? He is getting so tall.... I am done for. That's no good. He is already as tall as you mom!

Well, the church is true, Conference was a blast! Loved every second of it, we watched it in the church and I received a witness that those men really do lead the church with restored priesthood keys! How blessed we are to know the truth! Now let's share it with all the people that we know!!!

Love,

-Elder Mike Dial
