April General Conference

Wow! I loved it! I know I was listening carefully for what would touch me most. From the start with Elder Hales telling us about provident living to the end with President Monson telling us to go to the temple so we can find peace and a strengthened resolve to keep the commandments I was completely inspired and filled with the spirit. I noticed how much the talks emphasized that we could be happy in our adversity. No one promised if you kept the commandments all your problems would be solved, no one said things would turn around soon and all would be well, no, the talks just told us that we needed to be happy, we have to choose to be happy because that's what God wants for us.

Some Quotes I Loved:

There is a difference between church-attending, tithe-paying members who occasionally rush in to the temple to go through a session and those members who faithfully and consistently worship in the temple.
