How was the Stake Conference?

Saturday evening and Sunday Stake Conference was very good. There were many talks given and many of them are very good lessons and advices. Here's the information that was given that night. Please give thanks to the interpreters for interpreting for us that night, especially the Sister Missionaries (Sister Cook and Sister Hansen).
