I attended the conference with great anxiety. But there, for the first time, I heard things about the gospel and kingdom I had never heard before in any church. They were simple, encouraging, and scriptural that I feel so transformed and ready to live everyday as a true believer.

While I managed to look pretty good on the outside, I struggled on the inside with frequent sickness. Despite the circle of people around me at church and school, I had always felt lonely and inadequate because of the sickness. I was sick a lot as a child, and always small for my age. But I came to this conference and my life was completely transformed.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." — Phi 4:8
