Please Come

 I am SO EXCITED to write this e-mail!. Even though I actually started it 3 days ago... I'm still so excited to press send!Our ward is just so amazing. There have been several distinct moments when I was reminded that this week. I honestly, think there isn't a better congregation in the church. I am just so thrilled. Like I implied above, I have had several inspiring experiences this week and witnessed mighty miracles. Brothers and sisters, if you aren't seeing them, I invite you to ask the Lord to bless you with these miracles. I promise that the faith exists in our ward to make those miracles happen for you and for the people you're seeking to love and serve.

First and foremost, I want to talk about how excited I am for WARD CONFERENCE on Feb 23.  I am ecstatic and I want to promise you a faith promoting and revelatory experience by your attendance. I will be speaking about true discipleship, the miracles the Lord is promising us, and the revelation I've personally received regarding the next 6 months. Will you please come? Will you please invite your neighbors and those you minister to? Will you please ask the Lord who He wants you to invite? I have strong prompting that the Lord is preparing something special for you. 

I feel prompted to say that this ward conference will be unique and powerful. The Lord has mighty plans for you and for our are congregation and community. I know that if we seek to understand His will and come unto Christ without restriction, we will say the mightiest of miracles occur all around us. 

I'd also like you to do one more thing in preparation for ward conference... come to the temple. Will you attend the temple before ward conference? And if you don't get there by ward conference, let's make a plan for you to get there by Easter and/or General Conference. Brothers and sisters, I know that the Lord wants to endow you with his Love and His Power. He has a plan for you. Whatever is keeping you from your spiritual goals, there is a plan to overcome. What is His will for you?
