Loved Every Minute
Conference weekend was so great.
Loved every minute. Every session went by so quickly. I was sad when it ended.
We all stayed awake except for the Saturday afternoon session. I guess I snoozed a little too. Don't know who took that picture of me.
We all took notes. Lilly probably took the most...or at least doodled the most. There are 25 more pages of her artwork from all the sessions.
Gracie spent Saturday watching conference on a retreat in Levan with the young women in our ward.
One of the conference highlights for me was gathering after Sunday dinner to talk about what we learned. Even Janie shared her feelings about some of the messages. These girls love Jesus Christ and his gospel and they are building their foundation on Christ.
A few of my favorite messages...
If you will turn to Christ your life will be better and God will use you to make the lives of others better - President Dieter F Uchtdorf
Put away the devices and serve - Bonnie Oscarson
The adversary tries to distract us from a life of giving - Elder John C Pingree Jr
Treasure the Lord's involvement in our lives - Ronald A Rasband
Promises for reading The Book of Mormon: You'll make better decisions every day, the windows of heaven will open and you'll receive answers, you'll be immunized against the evils of the day - President Russel M Nelson
Joy is the purpose of life - Jean B Bingham
Sometimes we try to run so fast we forget where we're going...A home should be the ultimate in time and space to learn to practice the gospel - Elder David L Bednar
Remember to put Jesus Christ at the center of your life today - from the story of Beau, told by Elder W Craig Zwick
Welcome and embrace anyone who is making their own personal trek towards Christ - M Russel Ballard
Hard is good...don't decide or act out of a spirit of fear - Stanley G Ellis
ACT when living prophets speak - Elder Adilson de Paula Parrella
Okay, maybe that was more than a few :)
My favorite hunter comes home today.
I've missed him terribly.
We all have.
He connects with his kids every day in one way or another so when he's away we notice.
