Mom's Conference Favorites
OK, I prayed to learn how to become whole. I have made a lot of progress in my lifetime to overcome my childhood when I never once felt safe and was never sure what the next minute would bring. It seems like I make a lot of progress and then I realize that I still am not the person I want to be. It really has been weighing on me if wholeness is even possible for every person, but I believe that in this conference, it was said that it is possible. I felt like the whole conference gave me hope and ideas. First, Henry B. Eyring gave me a good idea to write down what I have seen the Lord's hand do each day. I have had many small and great miracles in my life and I have written some down but not the day to day stuff that is also important. Then Julie B. Beck talked about how important it is to know who we are and to become strong and imoveable. That is what I want. Next, David Bednar talked about doing good, being good and becoming better. He mentioned having our hearts changed by the Holy Spirit. He starts the theme of gaining forgiveness of our sins and overcoming bad, which Claudio Zivic continues. Then Dallin Oaks says to simplify and cut ineffectiveness out of our lives. Deiter Uchtdorf reminds us that we have great reason to rejoice and that the Savior will heal our broken hearts. Finally, Michael Teh mentions that we all need each other to return to our Heavenly Home. I got a lot of good ideas of what to do and where to start in my quest. I also got further insight in the Temple this weekend. I feel very positive and excited about Heavenly Father's love for me and His interest in helping me become the person I want to be. The best story for me was Snow's story about the butterscotch candy. I loved his smile and I loved the story. It was the best. I also liked the story about the shoes. I think that this was the best conference I have ever heard. My favorite quote was Boyd K. Packer's : "you never know by looking at him how far a frog can jump". I hope to hear from everyone. I guess that just leaves Lori. Maybe I can get dad and Tosh to post. What do you think?
