Billings Conference, Sept 3, 2011

Ron and I were only able to attend the Sat session of the Billings Conference but what we were able to experience was really good! The photos below this section are from that conference. There were no workshops but there was two speakers one just after breakfast and one after dinner. Elder Terrence Carlyle Smith and his wife Rita from Alberta Canada were the morning speakers. Elder Smith is an Area Seventy in the Sixth Quorum of the Seventy since April 2004.

A quote from Elder Smith was, "All good (people) can come to call for Jesus but we ALSO have to go to him."

Elder Smith was a wonderful speaker and it was great to hear from him and get his council and answers from a question answer session. However, Brother David A Christensen was the speaker for the evening session and he was an amazing speaker! I don't think I've heard many speakers that are as good as he was! One minute you were laughing and the next crying with the spirit that was touching everyone in the room with his amazing gift of speech.

I often write notes when I'm in church meetings, it's a habit I learned a long time ago. The following was part of the notes I'd taken, "We are all in this (life) together! There are things that matter and there are things that don't matter. How you handle it (divorce, death of spouse, death of a child or any other circumstance) makes the difference! You are blessed in life but not in the way that you expect. You give the commitment to the Lord but you don't know what he will take, (ask of you) but, we are all in this together!" It was a wonderful conference and exceptional speakers!
