This weekend was General Conference for our church. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is a worldwide broadcast from Salt Lake City where we are instructed and taught from the leaders of our church, including the Prophet. It was so WONDERFUL!!! At the end of the final session yesterday I felt so rejuvenated and came away with a greater desire to do better and be better. I love to take notes during conference and so for my post today I am going to list some of my favorite conference quotes...."Salvation is an individual matter, exaltation is a family matter." -Russell M. Nelson
"We must stand as guardians of the God-given gift of family." -Kenneth Johnson

"Carefully assessing the condition of our heart is one of the most important things that we can do." -Gerald N. Lund
"The Holy Ghost will manifest the truth unto a heart, but we must choose to let it into our heart." -Gerald N. Lund

thanks, melissa! I, too, have felt uplifted and recommitted to doing better! Wasn't all of conference wonderful? All of your quotes are in my notes, too. I loved watching the BYUTV broadcasts online,(all but one session which we did at church) because I could pause and rewind to make notes and take care of kids. it was so awesome because I didn't have to miss any of what they were saying. but, i will have to go back and study the one i watched with the kids because I missed a lot.
such a wonderful weekend. i need to go back and watch parts of the afternoon sessions where i fell asleep!! can you believe it?? this whole tired pregnancy thing is killing me!!
