conference

Since C and I spent last weekend in Bryce Canyon for a photography class, we missed General Conference. I was so sad about it - I love conference so much. Luckily I was able to download all the sessions onto my iPod for free from lds.org, so I've been listening to it as I drive to school and work.
I just finished listening to Elder Holland's talk from Saturday afternoon, and it was wonderful. His talks are always inspiring, but this one spoke to me in particular.

"I do not know who in this vast audience today may need to hear the message of forgiveness inherent in this parable, but however late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don’t have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s Atonement shines.

Whether you are not yet of our faith or were with us once and have not remained, there is nothing in either case that you have done that cannot be undone. There is no problem which you cannot overcome. There is no dream that in the unfolding of time and eternity cannot yet be realized. Even if you feel you are the lost and last laborer of the eleventh hour, the Lord of the vineyard still stands beckoning. “Come boldly [to] the throne of grace,” and fall at the feet of the Holy One of Israel. Come and feast “without money and without price” at the table of the Lord."

-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
