The Spirit of God like a Fire is Burning!

Friends and family,

I had the very special experience this last week to go to the Naperville Stake Conference, and it was probably one of the most spiritual meetings that I have ever had in my life. The current stake presidency was released and a new one was called and so there were two general authorities there to conduct the changes. 
After we had begun and after the first hour had passed, we stood up to sing the rest hymn and it was hymn number 2, "The Spirit of God". As we sung, I was overcome by such an intense spirit that brought me goosebumps and made me grin from ear to ear. There was really no reason for me to smile, but I could just not help it! It was a testimony to me of this wonderful latter-day work that I am apart of and provided me the added strength that I needed at the time. I had specifically asked for a spiritual experience that day because I would not be able to take the sacrament and the Lord more than compensated.
I know that God answers prayers and that He loves His children. He wants the absolute best for us and if we ask with real intent for the right reasons, He will answer. 
I love you all and hope you have a great week.
