Conference: Day 1

Well so far so good. From what I can gather from the first few sessions of General Conference  is that it seems to be really focusing on the family. Something that I think we all need to remember. Family is such a central part to our eternal salvation, it seems natural to talk about it and emphasize the fact that it is so necessary to happiness. I'm really glad that the focus seems to be there right now.

And it makes me excited to hear what they will say tomorrow. I wonder if there will still be the same trend in talking about family, or if there will be a new theme that will be discussed. Either way it's bound to be good.

Another great thing that was discussed during conference was the fact that three new temples were going to be constructed! Talk about exciting! I'm stoke for that.

Also, it was really fun to see Cecil O. Samuelson speak today during conference. He's the president of BYU and it's kinda fun to see him in different positions such as being a member of the 70. It's was fun...not to mention he gave a really great talk.

I think, however, that my favorite talk so far was Russell M. Nelsons. It made me cry listening to him. The crying was a good thing though! His talk just made me think about how special we all really are in this world. We are all children of God and we are all so important...and that's something I tend to forget. I think a lot of women do that. But we are all special..and the Lord recognizes how amazing we are...we just need to remember that too!

i thought a major theme was service and celebrate the vhurch wlefare system. i love the talk about teaching your children to serve by pres. iring. i was touched by his open gratitude about his family needing help and the children that brought them a meal. so sweet!
