#ldsconf

This weekend, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we were blessed to gather together to watch General Conference.  As conference was starting, I got suuuuper emotional. Partially because I know that J and I do not live driving distance from the conference center. Also, because now that we don't live in Utah, we don't get to see or hear our leaders speak to us like we did when we were at BYU. And so I was happy that we had the opportunity to listen to our leaders!

As I get older, I have a greater and deeper appreciation for this specific weekend. I felt like E A C H and everyone of the speakers was speaking to ME. I have had many questions concerning our family { J + ME}. We have so many plans and hopes and dreams. But sometimes it's hard deciding which choice is the right one for us. Conference gave me the peace of mind to feel confident to go in the direction of our plans.

Every time I watch conference, I get the energy and inspiration I need to start new personal goals. It gives me perspective and reminder of what is really important in life and to not get caught up in the world. This was probably my favorite conference so far, IF I had to choose one. I am thankful for this blessing we receive every 6 months. I am thankful for the prophet of this church, President Monson. I am thankful for the peace I receive in my life because of this church.  I am thankful for my membership in this church.

I LOVE that we spend an ENTIRE weekend listening to talks about CHRIST.
