The first speaker was a young boy (17-20 years old) from Argentina. His hair was sandy blonde and he had no accent. He was a cutie. He had on a suit and tie and looked like a missionary. He told his conversion story of how a young girl at his high school invited him to read the Book of Mormon and pray. She gave it to him and he read about five verses and put it away. She did not give up. She invited him to go to church with her and meet with the missionaries. It took him several months to think about everything, but as he started reading the book again, he realized he had a different feeling while reading. He was baptized five months ago. His testimony was so strong about the Prophet Joseph and the scriptures. What a great thing to hear while going on a mission. It really juiced us up.After his talk a young family sang “Families Can Be Together Forever.” Uncle Del and I cried through the whole song. There were two brothers and a little blonde sister. You could hear her above all the others. They were just so darn cute and sang so well. What a treat!
