General Conference

Ok, so the older I get the more I LOVE the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I remember being a kid and dreading having to be at church all day for 2 days (we used to just stay at our building between sessions and have a potluck with the ward). But now I find myself looking forward to hearing the messages from the Prophets of the Lord. This conference session really was a strength to me. The messages seemed to be so positive and reassuring. To me the theme was, don't worry, do all that you can to keep the commandments and you have no need to fear. It is easy to get caught up in the media and feel uneasy about the world around us, but Conference has helped me look outside of this mortal experience and remember why I am really here. I am here to gain a body and knowledge so I can live with my Father in Heaven again. Another theme from Conference I got was to strengthen your marriages. I just want to say that I think Jon and I have come a long way. We still fight and get under eachother's skin, but really we are growing closer together as we strive to get closer to our Father. I love my husband so much. He is a great example to me of his selflessness and love for others. I strive to live the best I can so we can be together forever.

I am so blessed to be a member of the church. My faith gives me guidance and support no matter where I go. I am thankful for General Conference and the sweet messages we were given.
