My Thoughts....

About General Conference. I just want to begin by expressing my love for our sweet Prophet, President Monson. I am grateful for the amazing example he is to the members of the church. I have a very strong testimony of the importance of his role and calling.I know that he recieves direct instructions from our Father in Heave and Savior, Jesus Christ.I feel his love every time that he speaks to us. He is, without a doubt, an angel on this earth.
My favorite talk this conference was Elder Holland's talk in the Saturday afternoon session. I am so inspired by his intensity and boldness. I am grateful for his bravery in addressing the topics that he did during his talk. He has motivated me to do all I can to keep myself away from anything that will take the spirit away from me and distract my focus on what is truly important. I know that "Wickedness never was hapapiness!" I know that choosing the right allows us to recieve so many incredible blessings. Worldly happiness only lasts such a short moment and I feel that especially during this time on the earth it is so easy to get caught in worldly acts. But we were put on the earth at this time for a reason. We are strong enough to overcome the natural man, and stay firmly on the straight and narrow path. As Elder Holland stated, we have the CHOICE to let things into our hearts and minds that will harm our spirits. KEEP THEM OUT! I felt as though the theme of this conference was about FAMILY, LOVE and RAISING CHILDREN. As a mother now, I want to be the best I can be so I can teach Beau by my example. I want to share my testimony with you all. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church. I am so blessed to have an eternal family of my own now and I know that is only made possible because of the choice that Kameron and I made to be sealed in The House of the Lord. I know the Book of Mormon is the work of God and that it is the only book testified to be true by Christ himself. I love Joseph Smith and the mighty man that he was. For what he did for us as Mormons. I know the Atonement is the single best gift that we have. I know that it was out of our Savior's pure love for us that he descended below all, and that through him we can be saved. I know that he lives and loves each of us. Happy Easter to everyone. May we always strive to be more Christlike each day and always try to do our best. He will make up the rest.
