Elder Christofferson came to the MTC yesterday to speak to the missionaries. What a treat! We only have about 90 missionaries here so they had a very intimate meeting with him. We only filled half the chapel with the missionaries and 30-40 teachers that were there. It was neat to see how personalized his message was for the missionaries. For part of the time he let missionaries ask questions and I was really impressed with how deep yet principle centered their questions were. It allowed for some great answers. After the meeting with the missionaries (which was at 4:00), I somehow got invited to attend the dinner they had prepared for Elder Christofferson in a small room in the MTC. We are so blessed to live during the time of prophets and apostles on the earth. After dinner, the entire institute of the Aragon Stake had a meeting with Elder Christofferson in the MTC chapel, so I got to hear from him again. There were probably at least 500 young adults in attendance. He taught about the importance of the scriptures and pointed out that we are the only dispensation in history where we all can have our propio copies of the scriptures. It made me ponder about what is expected of us by having them and what a great responsibility that is. He also talked about expressing more gratitude, in general, but especially to God. He also spoke a lot about how God knows us personally and individually. That He couldn't possible know us any better or love us any more.
