Missionary zone conference
In the California Oakland/San Francisco zone conference is divided into three days in three different areas of the mission. We went to all of them this time because Elder Felt taught a segment of the conference on personal safety and sister Felt presented the sisters an opportunity to purchase some capped tees (under the direction of Sister Meredith) that would go under blouses and help sisters be more modest. We are putting sisters on bicycles for the first time in this mission and to help them keep modest this was one article of clothing that had been requested by the sisters for quite awhile.
We loved getting to see missionaries who had helped us move into the apartments in the Walnut Creek, Danville, and San Ramone areas, as well as the area of San Bruno.
We are in awe of the goodness of these Elders and Sisters and how the spirit shines in their eyes, and in all they do.
During conference President Meredith spoke on "How the Savior touches the One". Using scriptures from the New Testament he pointed out how he healed each one individually, it was very personal for each one. He pointed out that when The Father and the Son appeared to Joseph Smith they called him by name, they knew him.
In Third Nephi when the Savior appeared in Bountiful he had each one come up to touch the nail prints in his hands and in his side. Again one by one. How long would that have taken, for over 2000 people to individually come forward and touch the prints on his body? He healed their sick one by one and had them bring their little children to him so he could bless them "one by one". What would it have been like.
Our Savior is always concerned with the one.
