What a great CONFERENCE!!!

I LOVE Conference weekend! It was so nice to sit and listen to all the talks and feel rejuvenated. It was interesting that so many of the talks were on love and Matt mentioned that last night at Priesthood they talked about controlling your anger. I wonder if the First Presidency had hidden cameras in our house leading up to Conference :) Just kidding, I have actually been so much better lately about relaxing and not flying off the handle with the kids :) In fact I have really been enjoying my time with them and have loved laughing at all the cute things kids do and say. Conference helps me to enjoy those moments even more because it just puts life into perspective that much more. I will have to get out my notes when it's not so late to put down all my favorite talks and quotes. I do know right off the top of my head that I was really impressed with Elder Bednar's talk and the emphasis on staying CONSISTENT....that will be in my head every night when I would rather just throw the kids into bed without scriptures and prayers!

I totally agree with all that you wrote and all the feelings of the heart! I was really moved by Brother Holland's fervent testimony of the Book of Mormon! I hope people of the world can some how listen to it!

Yeah, I felt the extreme need to repent and improve the scripture study with the family. I continue to feel it now!

The consistency thing is so important! We were so glad for the that reminder and it went right along with Elder Renlund's talk about the need to do all the little things so we do not become "casual". I LOVE General Conference!
