My Third General Conference Packet, And I’m So Excited To Share This With You Guys.
I enjoy reading my notes and impressions from general conference. I ponder and study the things I have written as well as the conference addresses. I pray for understanding as to what I’m to do with that information. Sometimes the impressions are for my own benefit, but sometimes I’m guided by those impressions to help others.
During the April 2017 General conference, this is what I heard:
“In our home my parent’s wanted me and my siblings to learn to recognize the voice of the Spirit. We believe that happened as we studied the Book of Mormon each day as a family. Our testimonies were strengthened as we talked about sacred truths” (Elder C. Scott Grow, Of the Seventy, “And This Is Life Eternal,” Apr. 2017 General Conference).
This is what I recorded in my notes:
“Testimonies are strengthened as you discuss spiritual things.”
Notice that Elder Grow said that testimonies were strengthened as his family talked about “sacred truths,” but I recorded it as testimonies are strengthened as “spiritual things” are discussed. There is a difference. Elder Grow was talking about the sacred truths of the gospel. My notes could include spiritual experiences which happen to each of us.
I didn’t know at the time why I was prompted to write what I did, but I came to know later. Some spiritual experiences are too sacred to share with others—especially outside your family. On the other hand, sometimes sharing a sacred spiritual experience can help someone else. I was about to learn that there were certain spiritual experiences which my Heavenly Father wanted me to share.
I created the first version of this activity packet last year and it has become one of my favorite things to put together for my friends & family!
