Invitations

So I have arrived in Shanghai for another work trip. I had to miss Sunday sessions but I get to see them this Sunday in the Philippines as they are having the broadcast then. I did see Saturday and the priesthood sessions at home. 

As part of the trip, I always arrange to attend church, and this time since I have people traveling with me, I invited them all t go with me to conference.  I don't know if anyone will take me up on it, but it will be a great day anyway.  I wanted to travel to Philippines on Saturday eve since I know if is easier to get to church there than in China.   

I watched again the Saturday session while I was waiting at the airport.  There were some really good talks and I liked Elder Anderson's talk a lot.  I also really liked Elder Ridd from the priesthood session.  He had some fantastic analogies on technology and it's use for benefit or drawback. He talked about the youth being the choice generation.  As in ones that have a host of choices and those can impact for good or bad.  

I also liked Pres. Monson who indicated we need to have the courage to do not what is easy, but what is right.   

I will be here in China this week, in two different places.  I am in Shanghai, then Suzhou, then back to Shanghai, then off to Philippines, then home.  In Philippines I have meetings from 8-6, then with another group from 8-midnight.  The second group works the night shift and supports the US. I am doing some training with them so I have to work their hours.  Thien I leave at 4 am for the airport.  It will be a looooong day.  But I wanted to get home, so I packed it all in.

Thanks for being fantastic, cling to what you have been taught.  It will make you the happiest over your lifetime. 

Love you forever,

Dad
