Last Sunday was my turn to speak in Sacrament meeting. I was assigned a general conference talk to "loosely" base my talk upon. The problem was, I had a very difficult time with the existential nature of that talk. As I pondered the talk, I hunted down scriptures and memories of other conference talks I'd remembered taking notes on in my journal over the years and then the talk coalesced.
Then on Sunday, I sat listening in amazement while the youth speaker, Madi Koski detailed the Gospel instruction that particularly struck her during the EFY conference she attended earlier this month. Our talks had many points in common. Something the Lord evidently really wanted spoken from the pulpit yesterday. Because I didn't attend EFY and hear the things Madi did, the Lord had to lead me a merry chase through research to achieve the same results. I was very cool.
This is my talk...
