District Conference- Saturday

Today we had the Saturday sessions of district conference and it was really good. I was disappointed in the turn out from our branch for the meetings though.Only the clerk and branch President came and the president was late. Good meetings though. Elder Augustine, an Area Authority Seventy, presided and he gave some very good training on the roles of Branch Presidencies, Young Men Presidencies and Quorum Presidencies in the Aaronic Priesthood. The talks in the adult session were also very good. They are really encouraging the young single adults to not put off getting married and be sure they marry in the temple. Many are afraid to get married because their financial situations are so difficult but they are being counselled to go forward with faith. When we see some of the living conditions here it is hard for us to have the faith but its heartwarming and inspiring to see many young people going forward with amazing faith and then see how the Lord blesses them and opens doors of opportunity for them.
