We attended a Mission Conference yesterday at the Plantation Chapel. Elder and Sister Giddens spoke to us about serving missions and being taught out of the scriptures. It is always such a treat to be with all the young missionaries at the same time. They end these meetings singing "We will bring the world his truth"! I can't sing it because of the tears and I can't even type this without crying. To see these fine young people and feel the spirit they have is beyond words. I am reminded of the story again in Alma about the two thousand strippling young warriors who were taught by their mothers. There are those among these wonderful young people, who did not grow up under a mother's loving influence and yet they were led to the gospel and found a testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel and of Heavenly Father's love for all of his children. These great young missionaries are teaching us "old" people what is most important in this life.
It is so much fun to have the sisters run over to us when they see us and tell us how much they love us and want to know when we are coming to their apartments again. Then the young men all want to know when they can earn another bottle of salsa! These things make our hearts sing!
