Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice

So totally not fair!  Okay, maybe I complain too much, but I am jealous.  Monday I got a call from Elder W asking if I could stop by the Stake Center across the street from where I work and pick him and Elder T up at the end of their P-day.  I was glad for the chance to help and it was no inconvenience, because I didn't even have to go out of my way to get them.  Anyway the reason I bring this up is that on the way home Elder W was teasing me and asked if I knew who was speaking at their mission conference on Tuesday.  (I keep telling him that I need to get invited to their mission conferences).  Well it was Elder Boyd K. Packer.  Too sweet, how would it be to sit in the presence of a prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ.  As it turns out, Elder Packer opened up the meeting to questions from the missionaries.  I asked Elder W. how it was and he said that his favorite part was when a missionary asked Elder Packer how it felt to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ.  His answer was very insightful.  His answer was that it feels pretty much like how it feels to be a missionary.  Pretty cool huh?
I guess that when you think about it, that's what an Apostle's call really is all about.  It must be an honor beyond awesome to have your whole life totally devoted to serving God and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Not just for 2 years like the full-time missionaries, but for the remainder of their life here on earth.  That would be pretty awesome, but totally heavy responsibility.  I totally respect each and every one of the apostles if the church. 

Well that's about all for this week.  I hope all is well with those who read this blog.
Remeber our missionaries in your daily prayers.  And just as important remember to support your missionaries and help them serve by providing them opportunities to teach.

Be awesome this week.  God Bless you as you strivve to be awesome.
