This past weekend was General Conference and as expected it was amazing. I had the chance to go to the Saturday afternoon session and the Sunday morning session in the Conference Center with Danny and members of his family. It was so great being there with so many other Latter-day Saints. (Special thanks to Danny's mom for getting us the tickets!)
My favorite talk was by Elder Richard G. Scott. I was teary-eyed through the whole thing! What beautiful and sweet thoughts he shared about his late wife. It inspired me to be a better wife to my wonderful husband. (Speaking of wonderful, Danny made me breakfast this morning! We usually take granola bars and yogurt and eat on the way, but he surprised me with cinnamon rolls. I think this talk must have inspired him too.)
I thought Elder David A. Bednar's talk was really interesting. Elder Bednar is such an amazing teacher. I always learn something new from him. He had really good analogies on the way we receive revelation. I'm still pondering over the things he said and I'm looking forward to when I can read his talk.
I also really liked the talk by Elder Kent F. Richards. I thought he shared such intriguing insight into the purpose of pain. We know pain is part of the mortal experience and not very pleasant, by any means. However, I loved the thoughts he shared on how pain or trials can be for our benefit.
Another talk that really touched me was by Sister Jean A. Stevens. Her stories about the children showing Christlike attributes were so sweet. The story about the little boy bowing his head and folding his arms when he saw a painting of Jesus made me tear up as well. It made me think of my many sweet nephews and nieces.
There were many more talks I loved, but those are the ones that really touched me. I would love to hear what talks touched you!

I really enjoyed conference too.
ReplyDeleteHere's an interesting sidenote: I enjoyed Sister Stevens' talk not only because it was excellent but also because she is one of the daughters of my bishop in Salt Lake before and after my mission. I was good friends with her older sister, Mary, when we were in junior high and was pleasantly surprised when I found out about her call. Her parents and family are all stalwarts and I'm very proud of her opportunity to serve. Her older brother, Claron, was my mom's ophthalmologist for a while. Small world!
What a small world!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of conference, but Elder Richards talk was an affirmation to me of my Heavenly Father's love for each individual. It touched me deeply and I felt his awareness of me and my family.
