My Dear Family and Friends,
This week has been an incredible week for me personally and my spirit is
full with love, comfort, peace, and assurance. I defiantly feel like a new
person, a new man, and a new servant of the Lord.
This past weekend we had the 183rd Annual General Conference, where we got
to hear from Prophets, seers, and revelators in this dispensation. What a
blessing it has been to be able to hear from these men who have been called of
God to speak to us the things which the Lord has need us to hear. I have been so
uplifted in all the things which the speakers in General Conference have spoken
about. I have been uplifted, to a point where words cannot truly describe. I
hope that all of you who have either missed parts of conference, watched only a
few sessions, or didn't get to hear or watch any of it, to go online and watch,
listen, and read the things which the Lord have need us to hear at this time
through his servants which he has truly called and ordained. For the Lord has
said to the prophet Joseph Smith in a revelation in the Doctrine and
Covenants,"For whether it be my voice, or the voice of my servants, it is the
same." When Elder David A. Bednar came to our mission at the beginning of this
year, an Elder asked him a question on what we should do when to prepare for
conference, he said, (this is not a direct quotation) "Never write down anything
anyone says at the pulpit. When you do so, you are making Large Plates that
won't mean anything to you in month or a year from now. Instead write down what
the spirit tells to you. When you do this you are making Small Plates in which
you are writing down things that the spirit prompts you to write down during
those talks." By taking his advice this General Conference, I have indeed felt
more engaged in what the speaker had to say and I found myself looking for what
the spirit had to teach me about what the person was saying, and it had more
meaning to me. I know and can testify, that as you read, ponder, and apply the
things which you have read, listened to, or watched this conference, and apply
them into our daily lives, that we can and will become closer to our father in
heaven, and it will become easier to stay on the path of righteousness we have
so graciously placed our feet upon. I promise you that the Lord lives, and that
he wants to do all he can to help you, to let you know that he loves you, and
that he is there at anytime that you need him, even in the times you think you
don't need him.
I love you all and hope that this week will bring you all happiness, joy,
and peace, as you go about your daily lives doing the things which you do. I
love you all and may be the Lord bless you and your families for ever and
ever.
Love,
Elder Zenger
