Another interesting experience happened on Sunday. I contacted a man on the back of a bus last Tuesday, his name is Artur ... We gave him a book of mormon, had him read the introduction, and told him to pray and read before our next meeting. ... it was a testimony to me that people's hearts are changed when they recognize and want to learn truth.
I've never really appreciated conference like I did last week-end. It was amazing!! The general authorities teach with such power. I love how they unfold pure doctrines and inspire us to do better. ... I'll just highlight some of the favorite things I got out of it.
--Elder Lawrence Corbridge's talk on the Savior was just powerful. Many missionaries called it a "throw-down"--because about 75% of his talk was scripture and he spoke with a lot of umph and authority. He talked about how Christ is the Way. And "any other way, every other way, whatever other way is madness." The talk was on Saturday afternoon and I'd recommend going back to watch it if you missed it. ... He just explains very clearly that through the Savior and his Atonement is the only way back to heavenly father and true happiness, which are one in the same.
But the most cherished things I learned at conference were things that only Heavenly Father could teach me by the spirit. I know that whenever we have any questions, studying by the Spirit words spoken or written with a prayer in our hearts is the best ticket to personal revelation.
Is it weird to anyone else that October is halfway over?
Love!, Elder Barnes
