Wow, I swear each year conference gets better. It's so amazing how the church is able to hold the conference for the world to see and hear. I'm so thankful for this opportunity.
Many talks were given about adversity, personal revelation, service, and raising children. I know these things we will need to watch out for and make sure we do in the times to come. My dad mentioned that raising children isn't necessarily for them, but more for the youth, so WE can raise kids. Yes, they need to raise us to be able to raise our own, but it's getting closer and closer to the 2nd Coming, so we need strong generations of kids to come.
Some quotes that I heard that I really loved were:
"Fear not, the future is as bright as your faith"-Russel M. Nelson (Saturday afternoon)
"The only way to see the view, is to make the climb"-Paul V. Johnson (Sunday morning) **my favorite talk :) **
"Growth cannot come by taking the easy way" -Paul V. Johnson
"This is my gift, apply unto it"-David A. Bednar (Sunday morning)
"Don't waste time in idle pursuits, get on with life"-Richard G. Scott (Sunday afternoon)
"Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable"-Jeffrey R. Holland (Sunday afternoon)
"The church is not a fastfood outlet, you can't always have it your way"-Jeffrey R. Holland
"In one way or another, God WILL have his voice heard"-Jeffrey R. Holland
I also decided that I need to attend the temple more often. I use the "I'm too busy" excuse WAY too much, and I know that at judgement, it won't cut it. So, Bryndee and I are planning on going on Tuesday, because we have a late start ;)
I'm ready for the talks to come out in the Ensign, Internet, and iPod ( ;] ) so that I can read them all again! I know there are so many things in there that I need to be a better person, and I'm going to search and find them to be the best I can possibly be!
Be ready world, HERE I COME! ;)
