Talk about a day to go down in history! I really felt strongly that I should record this in my family history, or my Book of Remembrance. So that is what I am doing. Today, we had General Conference. For those of you who are not members of our church, that is when we gather as a church worldwide and have the blessing to listen to the living Prophets today. It is one of my favorite times of the year! One of the best weekends ever. We get this blessed, sacred opportunity twice a year. Today, President Thomas S. Monson announced the change in age to serve missions. Young men can now go on their missions at age 18 rather than 19. And young women can now go on their missions at age 19 instead of 21! It was SUCH a surprise but it gets me choked up even talking about it because I know how true this church is and how inspired each and every thing the living Prophet tells us to do is. What a beautiful opportunity! How exciting! What a memorable time for the church! I also feel extra happy and emotional about this because two of my siblings will be going on missions. My younger brother already has his mission papers in, and will get his call in 2-3 weeks. My younger sister is only 19, but she has wanted to serve a mission for as long as I can remember. So she was overjoyed by the news today! She will be starting her papers asap and leaving as soon as she can as well. I am SO excited for the both of them and know they will make some of the finest missionaries ever. I can't believe how wonderful our missionaries are in the church and how much they grow on their missions. I never served a mission because I was married by age 20, but I hope and we plan on serving a couples mission later on in life; my husband and I. Both of my parents served, and my older brother, and I see the amazing good it has done in their life. I hear about it too from their experiences. Today I am feeling extra blessed to be a part of this wonderful work and gospel. So grateful for living Prophets who speak to us through God on earth today! :)
