Sumo Wrestling and General Conference




Sumo wrestling and General Conference weekend being said together in the same sentence doesn't quite work, does it?  Even though the wrestling was fun to watch, conference is so much more uplifting.  Where the wrestlers try to take each other down, the conference talks uplift and inspire all to greater works to serve one another, inspiring us to serve our families, neighbors, and ourselves as we strive to become more Christ-like in following the example of our Elder Brother, Jesus Christ.  We hope you all got to watch conference this weekend.  We were actually watching Saturday sessions early, early this morning (Sunday).  The official watching of conference (maybe you might call it a rebroadcast) will be at our church next weekend.  This means that we have to adjust when we live ahead of the world time-wise, huh?   That's okay, it gives us a chance to see conference multiple times.  If you didn't get a chance to see any of the sessions yet, they are there on http://www.lds.org/?lang=eng . As missionaries, we especially like the parts where we are counseled to share the gospel.
