I just love conference and being in the conference center was a pleasant experience. We had pretty close seats, which I was super excited about. However, I quickly learned that we were surrounded by many foreigners. This, of course, meant that each of them had their translator head sets. They were loud! At first I was super annoyed. I didn't want to have to TRY to ignore the Japanese or Spanish translations.. I just wanted to listen to the speakers in English like I came to hear! After a couple minutes of annoyance, I was overwhelmed with joy to be surrounded by so many other Latter-day Saints from all over the world who were there for the same reasons I was. Some of these faithful members travelled really far just to be in the presence of the prophet and his apostles and to hear their messages. I couldn't help but get choked up and feel of the love that our Heavenly Father has for EACH of His children.
There is nothing like being in the same room as a prophet of God, Thomas S. Monson, and his apostles. It is just another reminder of how much God loves his children--They truly are our watchmen prepared for these days.
I love conference. I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love knowing that I am a daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves me. I love being a member of a Church that helps me to always strive to be a better person. I love my Savior.
I know that I am far from perfect and need to be and do better--Conference is always a good reminder of the things that are truly important and helps me to get my life in check with the things I need to work on.
Goals:
Pray for more opportunities to serve.
Lose myself in service. Help ease the burdens of others.
Strive to be the kind of person I am looking for in a future spouse.
Be more courageous and a better example to others.
