General Conference - Saturday session


I just LOVE conference weekend, don't you? Not only is it totally edifying but I love being able to "go to church" in my jammies! I think every single talk was wonderful and I really feel like I took something away from each one. I always walk away from conference realizing I have alot of work to do!!! My favorite talk today was Elder Oak's about the Sacrament. This is something I have been thinking alot about lately. Right before Tanner was ordained to the Aaronic priesthood in December we studied the priesthood as a family and specifically some of the symbolism in the sacrament - (since he was going to be passing it we thought that would be a good thing for him to know but in the end I think I learned the most!) I just recently listened to a talk by a favorite speaker, John Bytheway, called "The best 3 hours of the week". He shared some ideas about how we can get the most out of our sunday worship services-especially sacrament meeting. It really made me realize how I could improve my reverence and understanding during the sacrament. I think there have been times in my past when the three hour block of church was more of a social thing for me than a spiritual one. I have completely changed how I feel about that now. Elder Oaks talked about things we can do BEFORE sacrament meeting starts to prepare ourselves. He talked about dressing appropriately to take the Sacrament too. I just loved his talk! Which was your favorite so far?

I actually enjoyed every single talk as well. I love going to church in my jammies, but tend to doze off. . . did I just admit that?! (thank goodness for tivo!) Didn't happen today though. I loved every talk. I enjoyed Elder Perry's, just comforting in what is going on in the world today. I loved Elder Bednar's too, just some things that I needed to be reminded of! Wait I loved all of them :)

Excited for the Kansas City Temple. My old stomping grounds. . .

I LOVED Elder Bednar's talk. Recently in seminary we talked about how prayer is a way to obtain the "highest of blessings" (from the BD) and what that means. His talk taught me so much about HOW prayer helps us obtain those blessings. LOVE conference!
I liked them all. But I like the line that Uchtdorf used, "In the Midst of Winter, we find within us an invinciblee Summer." Also, I like Worthlin's talk, about finding humor and seeking for the eternal and understanding the principle of compensation [that which is taken away, will be added back to us in his own way, even 100 fold] and to trust in the Lord.

Also I liked the Hales, gave a shout out to blogging. Like the positive comments we make.

Dang, I really liked it all! ;)
