In preparation for general conference, our district elected to fast two meals today—breakfast and lunch—to put us on a spiritual plane more receptive to the messages, instructions, and themes of the conference. This will be our last conference for two years. We met together last night to dedicate our fast to these purposes.
The three session of conference we participated in today were exceedingly worth every effort involved. The Spirit was present in such abundance that the messages were received in the heart. My soul was filled, my heart overflowing with gratitude, my mind and body subdued, and my whole being in tune with God. Anyone with any degree of spiritual awareness or sensitivity could not honestly resist the testimonies offered. Both words and song added to the spiritual feast.
We watched both general sessions here in the chapel of Allen Hall. For the priesthood session this evening we went to the Fieldhouse, where the meeting was relayed by closed-circuit television. During the late afternoon Elder Rencher, Elder Kletting, and I went to the BYU Bookstore. During the day I also laundered, wrote Karen, and wrote home. A letter came from Karen.
