What a great opportunity for the saints in the Louisville area! Elder Garrett Gong from the 12 apostles came to visit the area. He spoke on Sunday in the Crestwood stake. I love his style of speaking - it's like he is speaking directly to me, and yet it is also so poignant - direct - to the heart of the matter.
I had the extra special opportunity to hear him speak to the missionaries in Lexington. How is that? I drove the sister missionaries from Louisville to Lexington so they could be at the Mission Conference. He gave such great counsel. I recorded as much as I could from his talk as well as the other speakers: his wife, (whom happens to be related to Mark through Linda and Dave), and the mission president and his wife. I wish Robert could have been here! The counsel they shared was so perfect and spot on for everything that is going on in their lives as missionaries, but it also transfers over into personal development as well.
When the conference was over, I had the opportunity to thank them and let Sister Gong know that we are related. She was surprised, and excited but there was not the time to go into details. She was so sweet about it though.
