Elder Bednar Visit part 2

First Sister Robbins spoke followed by her husband Elder Robbins. Then Sister Bednar spoke and now for the moment we were all waiting for Elder Bednar. Wow it was amazing. He didn’t give a two hour lecture but lead a 2 hour discussion. Before the conference we were all asked to read 3 of his recent talks and his first question was “what did you get from reading the talks.” He randomly selected missionaries to share their thoughts and feelings. It was amazing how he invited the Holy Spirit to teach us all during that meeting. Each of the missionary’s answers were so personal and although they admitted that they were very nervous they gave honest answers to the questions he then asked them. I will list the talks if you want to read them yourselves. 1. Converted unto the Lord.  will have to search the others out

We were asked to be agents not objects. For instance when we pray for something we must take action for that prayer to be answered. Other areas in our lives when we want something to happen again we must take action and not expect things to just happen. I just loved how he allowed the missionaries to learn something new as he was talking to them. I also think that most of the people in that meeting felt inspired and uplifted by how Elder Bednar lead the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us.  It was amazing like I said before.
