General Conf.

General conference was quite enjoyable this year. We all gathered in the living room and it seemed quite idealistic in the beginning.

 

 

The boys sat quietly listening to the hymns and waited with anticipation to see the Prophet.

Donaven even listened along to the talks and played his conference square game that his primary leaders gave him. I felt the spirit strongly and felt that the talks were extra pertinent to things I was going through or needed help with. Emerson could only last so long though and the sitting quietly was quickly replaced with loud giggles and jumpy boys trying to get attention. They lasted much longer than I thought they would.

I really am looking forward to getting my Ensign and going back and studying the talks that were given. I think we will use them as our FHE lessons for the remainder of the year. I love the renewed feeling I get after conference. The since of unity and closeness to my Heavenly Father seems stronger. A lot of things stood out to me this year but the two most important in my opinion were one; Family time is sacred and should be respected & two; that Donaven picks up a lot more than I think he does. Even if he appears to not be listening. I need to use my everyday situations and teach him and Emerson the gospel in unplanned natural ways that invite the spirit. I hope you also felt uplifted and strengthened during General Conference!
