(excerpt from Emily's family email sent 4/3/12)
I can't believe I saw you guys on Saturday! That was unreal. I will always remember singing in conference and being able to wave and blow kisses up to my family in the balcony seats. What an experience!
In my email today I'm going to talk about the songs we sang and how my testimony of each principle has grown so much while on my mission. We opened the conference singing "Glory to God on High." This song is all about praising our Lord and God and all he has blessed us with. The Atonement, repentance, prayer, and much more. "Praise Ye His Name1" We should always give thanks to God for all he blesses us with.
As I shared in previous emails, my testimony of prayer has grown immensely since my weeks in the MTC. "Lead Kindly Light" so eloquently expresses the idea of being guided by our Heavenly Father. If we turn our problems over to him and trust in him, they will be worked out in the way they are supposed to. Lastly "Praise to the Man." That song was amazing. I loved the arrangement and the way it was sung there was so much power behind those words. I really felt the meaning of them. Also Mum as you pointed out in your letter (I received the package today. Thank you! It was a real booster and full of so many lovely things) Millions shall know Brother Joseph again through missionary work. That's what I'm out doing right now. Bringing the message of the restored gospel to others. "Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of Heaven" is my favorite line. What I'm doing now is a sacrifice but I know it will also be such a blessing.
