That was after we had a few days of preparing for the Hamilton and Auckland Mission Conference on Saturday morning. Elder Saunders took charge of the car park and with the help of the other senior missionaries everything went smoothly. I organised inside and because of the help of the other sisters, that too, went smoothly.
What a blessing it was that Elder Christofferson wanted to shake all of our hands.
The talks were brilliant. First was Sister Pearson who encouraged us to have faith in ourselves and in our callings. “Who the Lord calls he qualifies.” Lovely talk.
President Pearson is the Pacific Area President. Wow he
is such an animated and motivational speaker. We just loved the counsel he
gave.
Sister Christofferson looks quite a small, frail lady but
boy does she have a massive power when she speaks. There is nothing small or
frail about this humble lady.
Elder Christofferson’s talk was so special.
He invited the missionaries to ask him questions and then
he gave marvellous answers to each of the questions. What impressed me was that
at the end of his talk he blessed us all with the ability to receive the
answers to the questions that were asked him earlier. This included that we would know how to get closer to the Lord, we would know that he is pleased with us. There were a lot of other special things that were said during this meeting but I would have to refer to my notes to get them right.
When I explain that we went to a special Stake conference
that evening in Hamilton and also to Hamilton’s Stake conference on the Sunday
you will understand why all my talks are jumbled up in my head. That is why I
write little notes of who said what.
Elder and Sister Christofferson, President and Sister Pearson
spoke at all three meetings, I think!
Sister Gowing the Hamilton Temple Matron spoke on
Saturday night.It was just such an uplifting weekend. I may write another blog about this but I will have my note to guide me.
