Best Christmas Ever 🎄 (Christmas conference)

Dear everyone,

Christmas conference was the best this year. I'm gonna go ahead and
quote my daughter:

"We had a goal as a mission to have 600 convert baptisms this year,
which is really high for our mission. We are going to end the year
around 550 baptisms (which is still the second highest in the history
of the mission.) We came to Christmas Conference a little sad that we
hadn't met our goal. President talked to us about the story of Nephi
in the Book of Mormon. Nephi thinks he has failed when he goes back to
Jerusalem to get the plates. He tries offering his family's wealth to
Laban, but Laban takes it and does not give him the plates. He does
not obtain the plates in the way he thought he would, he gets the
plates because he comes back to find Laban drunk and is able to kill
him and put on his clothing. President pointed out to us that Laban
was probably drunk because he was celebrating his new wealth. So far
this year, 260 of those new converts have taken family names to the
temple to perform proxy baptisms. On average each has taken 2.33
names. The new converts did 606 baptisms. 606 people on the other side
of the veil have had the opportunity to accept those baptisms.
President talked to us about how the work we do here leads to work we
cannot see. Those new converts will share the restored gospel with
their friends, they will raise their kids in the gospel, they will go
on missions, and they will continue to go to the temple. The work will
keep moving forward!"
