Sister Kimball's Mission: WHAT THINK YE OF CHRIST

Elder Neil L. Anderson came to our mission. The whole mission gathered together. We had our mission president and his wife there, Elder L. Whitney Clayton
(presidency of the Seventies), Bishop Edgely (presiding bishopric) and Elder Merrell (of the Seventies). It was a remarkable meeting. Elder Anderson spoke to us briefly, he's funny. Then it was open for questions and answers and we got to ask questions and we heard from all the men in response to our questions. After that, Elder Anderson spoke to us for 30 minutes. His main message was instructing
us to ponder the question," What think ye of Christ"
He said that now is the time for us to have our testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ, be deeply rooted in us. (He continued) It's not nearly enough for us to have a testimony, we need to be converted. and that the mission is the time to become converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that conversion is a process, it will take a lifetime. He asked, "Where will your knowledge and faith be 20,40,60 years from now? We continually need to be thinking, pondering. and praying to strengthen our faith in Christ. He promised that as we do so, the things we believe in will become perfect knowledge. It won't be merely "faith" anymore. He left us with such a firm, powerful testimony of his love for our Savior, Jesus Christ and that He does live. We will see Him face to face one day. He is our Savior, and Lord and Redeemer. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I've been really pondering that question.
" what think ye of Christ ". He told us to put it up where we will see it each and every day.
...here comes the funny part...after he spoke we sang a song just before I was suppose to give the closing prayer, as the song was coming to an end, I started to walk up to the stand, I almost blacked out. Ha ha, no joke. I totally teetered over to the side. I was soooo nervous. I don't think I've ever been so nervous with anything else in my entire life. I got extremely light headed. Ha ha, oh goodness!! Thankfully I was able to sit down for a brief second before the song ended. I was praying the entire time in my head. As I walked to the pulpit it felt like the longest walk of my life. You probably think I'm exaggerating, huh? I know,pathetic! Why I was so nervous I don't know. I was just giving the closing prayer in front of my entire mission, Elder Neil L. Anderson, and a bunch of general authorities; no big deal. Well, I made it through the prayer, it actually went really well besides my voice trembling here and there.
