Friends

Doctrine and Covenants 93:45
45 Verily, I say unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., or in other words, I will call you friends, for you are my friends, and ye shall have an inheritance with me—

We had some special friends from Tennessee come for a visit for General Conference. They came the Wednesday before and left the Tuesday after. They had never been to Utah before. It was a great experience to have them come and stay with us. We were able to do lots of sight seeing and also took them to the Salt Lake Temple to do a session there. We also got to go to a session of General Conference. For us and hopefully for them it was a great spiritual experience. This gospel is true and it is because of the gospel that we met and were brought together. In serving our Heavenly Father in Tennessee we had some wonder experiences and felt of his guidance and spirit many times. We love the people that we served and pray for their success always. They are all special friends and we hope to be with them in the eternities. I am very grateful that we followed the counsel of our prophet and leaders and served a mission. I would encourage everyone to set a goal to serve with your eternal companion when the time comes that you are able to do that. It can be a blessing to you and to your family.
