Conference again!


I look back to when I was a teen and remembering when Conference weekend would approach. I was sad to be missing out on teen outings, long naps, or nice dates on that Saturday that Conference was held. Fortunately I have matured some. I have such an excitement for Conference weekend. I looked forward to it. I didn't sleep through any of the talks and I was prepared to feel the spirit. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to listen to the words of our living Prophets and Apostles. I am re-motivated to live life to it's greatest potential, I am reminded of my self worth, and my testimony of Jesus Christ and the truthfulness of His gospel given to us in the Bible, Book of Mormon, and by revelation has been strengthened. I know our living Prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, has been called of God to lead Christ's church on earth. I have so much joy and peace to know this. I love knowing the truth about my premortal life and the potential I have to be like my Father in Heaven. How grateful I am for the joys of knowing I can have an eternal family. Thank you to all my leaders who spoke at Conference for your worthiness, dedication, and love! I hope all of you enjoyed Conference as much as I did. If you didn't get a chance to hear it, you can click this link and watch it. (Look at the bottom right of the page where is says 177th Semiannual General Conference). It is wonderfully informative and uplifting!

The Passing of a Prophet of God

President Gordan B. Hinckley passed away a couple of days ago. I just wanted to make sure that all my friends and family know that I know he was a true prophet of God leading the Lord Jesus Christ's church on earth today. I have mixed emotions about his passing, but ultimately I know that he is peacefully residing with his wife and loved ones. His funeral will be joyful celebration of his life and influence in the world. His submission to the will of our Father in Heaven has lead him to do marvelous works and experience joy in his life. If any of you want to know more about him click on this link. I am so glad to have the knowledge of the fullness of the gospel!
