Stake Conference

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a congregation of 100-200 people is a ward, and several wards make a stake. Every year, each stake holds a stake conference in which local church leaders and members gather to share gospel messages with each other. The first session of stake conference for me and my stake occurred tonight. There were several inspiring messages given about sharing the gospel and finding opportunities to be a friend to those in need. I appreciated the examples that were given and the principles that were taught that encouraged me to me more mindful of the needs of people around me. What opportunities am I blessed with every day to be a friend to someone, to meet someone new, to share the good news of Christ, or to strengthen meaningful relationships? I am grateful for the talks that were given in stake conference tonight, and I look forward to more such messages tomorrow.
