Reflection from the good ole G.C. part 1

So the last few weeks and even today I've had a few ups and downs. A large player in the "downs" for this week has been the fact that I've had a headache/migraine for a week now. Boo! I mean SUPER BOO! I have however had a few very enjoyable moments today that have helped to offset my pains... One being, today my oldest nephew, Cake, turned 10! Happy Birthday Babo! Second being, GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!

I love... LOVE ... Love General Conference! I wanted to let you know a few of the things that popped out for me personally that I want to work on... I love re reading the talks (which I am not always good at doing, but I usually try) and getting a different insight to the talks written than I did in hearing them. Well, here I go. (Clicking here, you can watch them too)


Elder Richard G Scott

Keep the Prophet and Apostles (and their families) in my prayers!
Try to memorize a new scripture every week (or every two weeks if it's a long one) by having it "play" on repeat in me noggin'.

I also really want to read the Bible more. I read it sometimes, but not regularly. I want to know all the goodness that is in that book of scripture too! Well maybe not "all" of it, cause that is a lot and I don't know if my brain could handle it all, but I should at least try!

Sister Barbara Thompson

I want to nourish and strengthen my testimony (especially in the knowledge of my Savior, Jesus Christ.) So that when I feel weak, my testimony can sustain me.


Elder L Whitney Clayton

Be one of those who uses Joseph Smith's name for GOOD!
Testify of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!

President Thomas S. Monson

Sacrifice and go to the Temple twice a month and donate to the General Temple Patron Fund once a month. How amazing it is to know that we can physically help people to be able to go to the Temple and receive the blessing there in?!

Elder Jose L Alonso

Serve more willingly.
Study Christ and His examples of service!
Remember to do the right thing at the right time and not delay in service.

President Boyd K Packer

Live a life worthy of having an eternal family. Get married and have a family.

Talk Reverently

Remember with Emphasis: Satan will LOSE!!!

President Deiter F. Uchtdorf

HOLD ON - BELIEVE IN HIM - LIVE THE COMMANDMENTS

Elder Ian Arden

This is the TIME to prepare to meet God! Time is never for sale and we can't buy more of it. Use my time wisely. Don't waste time, because my busy should equal productive!

Place the Lord and my family at the top of my "time" priority list! " In families, love is spelled T.I.M.E."

Find the distractions in my life and grind them to dust!

Elder Carl B Cook
LOOK UP! Even when the burden(s) feel heavy and looking down seems easy... LOOK UP!

Elder LeGrand R Curtis Jr.

Do better with Visiting Teaching and uplift those who's heads hang low!

Elder D. Todd Christofferson

Repent! It is a message of LOVE!
Strive to change, but recognize within myself that sometimes repeated attempts are needed.
Abandon sin and commit to keeping the commandments!
Allow my faith in Jesus Christ to turn my despair into HOPE!

Elder L Tom Perry

Be a VISIBLE member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, don't be afraid to stand out and be different.
Be BOLD in my declaration of Jesus Christ
Let my light so shine before men that they may see my good works, so they can recognize that I glory in my Father in Heaven.
Keep up my BLOG and posting spiritual impressions on facebook and add more to my profile on Mormon.org

Ask questions back! Not just in religious conversations, but in every conversation. Work on not being selfish in conversations. (this is where that whole, talking a lot thing, gets me into trouble. I don't like it, so want to work on it)
Avoid arguing and conflict, be holy in all manner of conversation!

Elder David A Bednar

DO FAMILY HISTORY WORK! Get their names to the Temple!

Elder Neil L Andersen

Keep preparing for motherhood and search for a righteous father for my future chillins!
I love the quote, "Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling!"

I am so thankful to be a member of the true church of Christ and I really LOVE that we have Prophets and Apostles on the earth today who are leading and guiding us! Here is to feeling/hearing/seeing more love and guidance from the speakers tomorrow!
