general conference was as always wonderful. i really enjoied it all quite a bit. i especially appreciated Elder Hollands talk this year on the atonement. ive also recently kind of gained a greater desire to be a good member missionary when i return home. i want to do what Elder Perry was talking about and fulfill my missionary responsibility as a member so our missionaries in idaho can be full time teachers.
on my birthday i had a cool opportunity to go and preach at a local church called the manna mission. each weekend they hold a prayer breakfast where they discuss Christ. its an atmosphere where they encourage leaving the doctrine at the door and together breaking down the barriers of denominations and talk of, rejoice in, and preach of christ. i had a chance to share about christs atonement and then i went into the life of christ and the idea that he not only died for us, he lived for us, and the least we can do is live for him. i used both bible and book of mormon verses and even as i read from alma i got an amen. it was a cool way to start my 22nd year.
well it sounds like you all had a decent week yerselves, im glad to hear it. its wonderful to have the guidance and direction so available to us in this dispensation. it truly is wonderful to have prophets and apostles on the earth.
love you guys
john
