Despite the strangeness of not knowing which day is which and when it happens, we are still able to accomplish some things each day! We also were able to go the Bishop's Storehouse to do service filling food orders. It was the fastest four hours of service ever! Those locations are truly incredible. They are clean, orderly, and help so many people. We were told that the many other religious groups that visit the Storehouse are amazed by the production going on. It was very enjoyable to be a part of and provide some service during these trying times.
I have learned to rely on prayer to receive specific direction from the Lord of what I can and cannot do. That has helped me to feel more productive, as I heed and carry out those errands, I feel that I'm being used as a tool in God's hands. "When you're on the Lord's errand, you're entitled to the Lord's help" -Thomas S. Monson. I've definitely had the Lord's help the last week, we even had a few people we're teaching participate and watch Conference!
And what an excellent experience that wonderful Conference was. As I went into the weekend, I came with the question of how I can grow to have "no more disposition to do evil," and "shake at the appearance of sin." What an incredible blessing it was to receive very direct revelation from the talks given by Elders Andersen, Renlund, and Bednar. If you're interested in finding similar answers, check those talks out! I truly felt the Spirit of God as I heard His word spoken by His chosen servants. What a blessing it is that the gospel of Christ is Restored upon the Earth!
