whoo! i attended 1st Sat session of General Conference today! i'm so proud of myself. ok right anyway, the talks we're really good.
ok maybe 1st half i wasn't really concentrating and i had to pay doubly-hard attention to catch up. and it didn't help that my eyes were in pain ok (or maybe i was just tired).
BUT, after the intermediate hymn, i woke up.
Elder Uchtdorf's talk was good. and in the beginning, he was talking about postWWII Germany, and how during that bleak period, his family heard the gospel, and it brought them hope and light. and it got me thinking, well in history i learn that Hitler didn't allow people to have religion and blahblah, so it seems rather miraculous that the Church was actually still around!
the concluding talk by President Monson was really touching. it was about how this woman, who had a son who was 15 when he went into the army (he tricked the officers) and died 1mth before his 19th birthday. of course his mum was distraught but she asked Pres Monson whether her son will live again. well considering he was only 11yrs old then but was a member of the church, he could only answer simply that yes, he certainly will. and throughout the years, he lost contact with that mother, but he wanted to answer her question again as he matured. then he told of how one General Conference session, he was impressed to speak about that mother, and to direct his talk personally to her (or something like that). and later he told us that that mother had moved to California, and her neighbours had invited her to watch that particular session. he later received a letter from her, thanking him for giving that talk, and telling him that over the years she had had many questions, and he had answered them all. he then went on to say that this could not have been just a coincidence that he was impressed to speak upon that particular topic, and neither could it have been a coincidence that those neighbours had invited her to watch that particular session. truly, it must have been the work of God, watching over a widowed mother and comforting her in His own way.
walked back from mrt and saw a couple(?) in front of me, both of them with their left arm in slings. and i was thinking, could it be that one of them was wearing the sling to acompany the other? you know like, make that person feel less awkard. cos it reminded me of this article i read in the Friend magazine, about this girl who didn't want to go to school cos she had to wear an eyepatch, and she was afraid her friends would laugh at her. but to her surprise when she stepped into class, everyone was wearing an eyepatch just like hers! many were even decorated. and thus she felt happy and thankful, cos everyone was like her!
