I don't know if I can share with you how
happy I am with this General Conference! The talks were very uplifting
and instructive but that is not really what I would like to talk about today.
For the first time, the speakers had the option to speak in their native
language and not in English. I think that some of you may not really understand
how awesome that is! But that is probably because you have never had to
watch conference dubbed. I will tell you, it is boring. The voices
of the people who do the dubbing are really boring. They must take a
class in how to talk boringly because it is difficult to listen to them. The talk
that was given in Portuguese was by far my favorite because I was able to
really enjoy what he said. Also it was a little bit ridiculous to have to dub a
man who speaks Portuguese because he is speaking English.
However, this change means a lot more to
me than just logistics and ease of listening. It is a message to every
person that this is a world wide Church. It is not very easy to tell
people that this is not an American church when it is led by Americans,
headquartered in America
I hope you all have a good week and I
love you all.
