It was said in love - truly. But yes, we were asked to do as much sharing the gospel as we have been doing temple and family history work (we do a lot of that in our stake).
i probably should just stay silent, (no “missionary push” here)…….but our Stake had conference this past wk-end as well, we only went to the Sunday portion….i had not been to a a stake conference since Jan ‘20…..
there where many more attendees than i had figured….so we sat on the very back row of the cultural hall chairs…..
for 2 hours i watched the same adults constantly getting up and chasing their kids or constantly going to the bathroom or just walking around in general, hanging out talking with other adults….etc….i’ll come back to this at the end.
the talks where just a constant quote-a-thon of RMN, especially from the SP & Presiding 70….i could have missed, but i only heard 1 quote referenced from another source, and it was from ETB…..i almost fell outa my chair!
the 70’s closing talk was just a great big “Mr Nice Guy” singing the praises of RMN…..
as the time grew towards the end of the meeting, all that came to my mind was, …..just how irreverent & inconsiderate so many members are in this area,,,,,and that i should not even for a moment question why the talks where as they where, and why our Stake is lead by those leading it…..
cause we get, exactly what we deserve…..MYSELF INCLUDED!
so, no….there was no admonition here to strive harder to bring others, nor do i see one coming anytime soon
