Our stake happened to have stake conference on Easter Sunday this year. For our speakers... Elder Russell M. Nelson accompanied by Carl B. Cook of the 70 (just sustained earlier this month) in person!!
Unfortunately I did not get to see them "in person" (we were assigned an overflow building) but I got to hear them speak for our specific stake. It was a wonderful experience!
Here are a few of the things they talked about...
-We all could use a little good news. Repentance is good news. Share it with others.
-Trust in God. Have hope. Look up.
-Repentance brings about change in us.
-Teach children about what being a child of God means.
-Teach children about the atonement, the sacrament, the importance of church,
about prophets, about the scriptures.
-All prophets have developed the gift of receiving and acting on revelation.
-Education is a religious responsibility. (I especially liked this quote!)
It is no doubt to me that these brethren are called of God. Along with all these things, both talked a lot about the Savior. As special witnesses of Christ, that is their calling. It was especially neat to hear them bear witness of Him on Easter.
Christ lives. He is our Savior and Redeemer. I am so grateful to have this knowledge!
