About two weeks ago we had a regional conference featuring Elders Steven Snow, Jeffrey Holland, Boyd Packer, and Sister Beck. They each had significant things to say, but I want to focus on what Sister Beck said.
She talked about doing the necessary things in life. She told us to align ourselves with the Lord and prioritize. I like how she said that the computer is no more valuable to us then our other appliances. One of the important things she brought up was doing missionary work. Several months ago she felt prompted to ask her cousin to be baptized, but she did not heed the prompting. Months later while sitting in the temple she felt the prompting again and called her cousin up that day! He and his wife were baptized shortly there after.
My sister-in-law is a good example of missionary work. She recently shared the gospel with a co-worker, line upon line, not everything all at once. I am proud of her for doing the most important, necessary missionary work, which more importantly is about the worth of a soul. She has never been shy about sharing the gospel with anyone...I bet she would make a better missionary then her husband, lol, just kidding!
Sister Beck repeated a statement over and over that I think we could all think about when it comes to re-prioritizing our lives..."Your doing better then you think you are, but were not doing as well as we could be."
