Trans-Conferential Railroad

April 8, 2024

大家好!Hey Everyone!

How was conference? Any favorite talks? Any favorite conference jokes?

To everyone that sent me an email in the last little bit, Imma really try and get back to you...it may just take another 6-7 days since this was a challenging P-day for communication. Thus this email is going to be very small and dry… just like the climate of Alberta…except the small part.

Transfers were on Friday! After a good 6 months in the northwest of Calgary, it is time to say goodbye for just a minute, cuz I'm moving down south! I’m in a trio with Elder Scoresby and Elder Tang!!! They’re awesome! I’m still trying to get my stuff situated, but it’ll work out.

The work already seems really good! The south area has a lot of friends being taught, and a friend on date. Elder Scoresby also got someone to meet with us by cold-calling them on Facebook messenger! Wild!

Conference weekend was fun! We watched as a district at the church with all the sofas in the building put in one room. Our trio also went to Calgary Tower and got a bite to eat from the restaurant up there.

Soooo, y’all probably remember a lot of the stuff from conference, and if you’re anything like me, you probably don’t remember a lot more stuff from conference. They should be posting talks sometime soon, though, so stay tuned. I’m excited to re-read the words of the modern day prophet, President Russel M. Nelson. I’m really impressed with his words relating to the events of the Kirtland temple and the Priesthood keys given there, mainly the keys of the Gathering of Israel, the keys of the Gospel of Abraham, and the keys of the Sealing Power.

Today I’ll extend the same invitation President Nelson did, and invite you to read the dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple offered by Joseph Smith (D&C 109) and consider

  • how your life would be different without these keys, and
  • how Christ manifests himself in your daily life.

The Prophet has stated that these keys mentioned in D&C 109 are evidence that God loves all of his children. I promise that as you read this section, you will gain a greater understanding of God's love and the benefits of the temple.

Have a week! Find yourself some good art, food, and music for me

Love you all! 爱你们!
–熊长老
