My Baby in the Springtime


Regional Conference

I LOVE the LDS church's conferences!  I look forward to the church's semi-annual General Conferences and semi-annual Stake Conferences.  I feel so uplifted and inspired to be a better person after each conference - even more than I do on a weekly basis at church.  It seems the speakers always know just what we all need to hear (almost like they're inspired!).

Today was Regional Conference for Davis and Morgan counties.  It was wonderful!  The speakers were Elder Ronald A. Rasband, Sister Julie B. Beck, Elder Robert D. Hales and President Henry B. Eyering - talk about a great lineup!  Sister Beck and President Eyering are two of my very favorites to listen to and the others were amazing as well.  I hope I can find this broadcast online because I really want to listen to them again.  I gain so much strength from listening to the authorities of our church.  I feel the Spirit testify to me of the truthfulness of the principles they teach and I feel true joy being surrounded by people who are also trying to become better each day.  I feel inspired to improve myself and to teach my family. 

I am sometimes tempted to skip a meeting now and then, but I have learned that the meetings that are the hardest to get to are always the ones I most need to hear.  So, when I am especially tempted to stay home I remind myself that Satan is probably working especially hard to keep me from going because it is going to be a really great meeting.  And so I try even harder to get there - it's always worth it!

P.S.  These meetings are open to anyone that wants to come.
