Catch the Wave

Today I was thinking about all of the amazing and inspiring talks that we heard on Saturday and Sunday from the great leaders of the Church. In my early, early, early, early morning seminary class (6:00!) the teacher asked what our favorite talks was. Mine was Russell M. Nelson's talk: Catch the Wave. 
   Why, you may ask, is this your favorite talk? It answered one big question I've had about going on a mission, and helped me to see that I can go on a mission! I was wondering if I would serve a mission. I was considering what I would do, because I will have a whole year after I graduate until I can go on a mission. I wasn't sure if I would be able to attend college for a year and go on a mission, and then afterwards come back and still have my spot in the school with all my scholarships. This is really important to me and this question has been on my mind for quite a while. Elder Nelson answered this question almost completely when he said:  "Young men and women, your education is ever important—to us, to you, and to God. Where feasible, if you wish to attend a college or university after your mission, we encourage you to apply to your institution of choice before beginning your mission. Many institutions of higher learning will grant an 18- to 30-month deferral to prospective missionaries. This will enable you elders and sisters to serve without worrying about where you will begin your advanced education." 

I realized how inspired all of the church leaders are, and that if we ever have questions, when we listen to them speak or read a talk by them, we will find something to help answer our questions. Was there a question you had that was answered during conference?
