On this last day of ward conference season, I am grateful to have witnessed the efforts from church leaders to help every person feel loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Sunday a few months ago, I knocked on a door of a Primary leader on the day of her ward conference. Inside the house, children scurried to the door and I could hear their voices. &#8220;Mom! It&#8217;s the Primary president!&#8221; I was in a mask. This was not a family I knew. But the little girl had watched the video and could recognize me. One promise given to me when I was set apart in this calling was that children would feel the Savior&#8217;s love through my ministering. As ward conferences come to an end, and I have not been able to minister face to face with the children this year, I hope there are many who recognized the Savior&#8217;s love in our little video for them. I will probably never know, but that&#8217;s the way it is with most service. You stretch, try, and trust, then repeat. And sometimes you rush to the goal and forget to put on your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3252021153134.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3252021153134.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20118\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3252021153134.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3252021153134-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>another screenshot of the video we made for the children<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stake presidency and I made a video for children to watch during ward conferences this year.
