219. Today I am grateful for a World-Wide Church


This weekend we had our Annual General Conference which is held close to the anniversary of the restoration of the church which is on April 6. The Annual conference is similar to the Semi-Annual General Conference held in October.
The church began in 1830 with a handful of people in New York and today has a membership of more than 14 million people spread across the globe. The gospel truly is for everyone no matter their race, culture, language spoken, etc.
I love the prophesy given by Isaiah in the Old Testament, Isaiah 2:2 - 3: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
The Mountain of the Lords house is the temples which continue to built throughout the World for all nations to come to and “learn of His ways and walk in His paths”.  
You can read, listen to, or watch the talks that were addressed to the whole world.
