General Conference Talks

I thought this year would be a great listening year for conference. I had workbooks for the older kids to keep them busy but it was Davis that gave me trouble. He wanted to be involved and kept messing up their "stuff". Every time I got into a good talk, I would get interupted by crying and mishap. So this was my notetaking so I can look up the talk and study it later. I really felt like there was so many talks that I related to in what I am going through. I usually don't tear up during conferece but this year was different. I feel closer to the spirit than I ever have and Im trying hard to do what my mother. I want to make her proud and smile down on me and say. "Thats my girl!"

Dieter F Uchtdorf **HOPE** Shared story of his mom escaping during WWII. Train was gone. Great talk!!

Sat. Afternoon

Jeffrey R. Holland- Talked about Immortal and Mortal Angels coming to visit those in need. Story of boy lost crossing stream.

Pres. Monson closing talk

Bednar- **Prayer** 4 Ways to Improve Prayer
Shared experience about Wife and family praying in presence of general Authority just soon after a dear friend passed away. His advice was "ask for nothing, just give thanks." I can relate to that experience and ive tried to pray for that exact thing. I thank thee for the Plan of Salvation, for a great mother with integrity, for the time I had with her, for my family and the support they give me, for my dad that he can feel love and comfort from his family...dangit Im crying again...
I just really enjoyed conference and am looking forward to studing these talks.
