Can I just say thank you for those who read my posts, it makes my day to know someone cares about what I write.
This weekend I had the chance to help with translators for General Conference, I was able to be there for all of the sessions giving out translators to people ranging from Portuguese to Mali Gasi (or however you spell it, it's apparently a language in Madagascar). It was a way of serving that allowed those who chose to travel across the world to come to General Conference to listen to it in their own comfortable language. There were people from Africa, Japan, China, Polynesia, Philippines, Korea, Finland, Sweden, and so many other countries from around the world. How grateful I am that they were able to come to this conference, to make their way over here to hear the prophet and the General authorities speak on the gospel. I was very grateful for them being there to take the time to come and watch conference, so I took the time and I learned so say 'thank you' in multiple languages. I learned to say it in Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, German, Russian, French, Haitian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Finnish and Tongan. It was so nice to see a familiar face who came to the last session and to tell them 'thank you' again in their language and they just looked at me with a smile and responded in their own language. Although it was fun to learn to say 'thank you' in multiple languages, it was the service that allowed me to truly connect with those I may not know how to communicate with. It was the service to make sure they could watch conference comfortably. As a missionary, service is in my name, and although my service is on a desk fixing errors or helping with translators, we do everything we can to make sure the Gospel Library and Churchofjesuschrist.org runs smoothly. We see it in our homes, at our schools and work, and when someone is there to help and serve, it communicates in a positive way. I'd like to consider it like a language, a language that no matter the barrier of understanding, we can still communicate through service. Perhaps words can't be expressed, but a simple act of kindness by serving others can truly unite us together. If we know how to say 'thank you', that is all that counts in return of such service. Unity is service, and service is a language that we all must understand. That is a very important part of our destiny.
