Family!
We woke up and it was 45 degrees this morning. That's a shear contrast to one month ago!
Mom, Thanks for your email. I love you to.
By the way I loved Conference! It Was Great! In one of the emails I read someone asked me what my favorite talk was.(I think it was Christy that asked) I would have to say that it was in priesthood session on missionary work. There is so much work to do. To any younger cousins that my read this I will add my testimony to the brethren and tell you it is imperative that you start now to prepare for a mission. That's for the boys and girls. You younger girls may not actually serve a mission but that doesn't mean that you wont ever do missionary work and need that preparation as a spiritual shield in the years to come.
Here are some of my other thoughts about it.
The wonderful thing about the gospel is it is truth. All of it. Truth can not be changed or voted on as mentioned in conference. Because its true and we have learned about it it resonates in out minds. We all know that we can and should heed it. I would encourage you if you ever find you self kicking at the pricks to stop and just fix it. I loved the analogy to at conference about stepping over a newly varnished floor. It takes work to repent and to follow truth. A lot of work but it is so worth it. Moroni 10:32-33
I loved President Monson's talk on choice. We are responsible for ourselves to get to heaven. But we can not get to heaven with out having given all of our selves to God, his work and his glory. Ether 12:4 I can see the gospel changing so many peoples lives here in the south.
I loved what Elder Uchtdorf said about humility. Its not beating ourselves up. Its thinking more about others. It's so true.
Any way if you could follow all of what I just wrote then you know me better then I know myself. There have been so many thoughts running through my head since conference. That and my head often goes about crazy at night as a lay awake thinking about it all.
-Ann- What email where you writing to?
-Christy- You are not forgotten. I love you to.
-Amy- I Loved the pictures of the kids and I am sure you will love conference.
-Dad- How was your Birthday?
-Elder Robinson- Hey thanks for the Spanish.
-Mom- Thanks for all you do for me and for others.
-Everyone else- We an army. An Army. My whole life I have dreamed of being in the military, learning how lead others and standing up for what was right. Well we where all born into that calling. We don't fight people we fight sin. We don't tear down, we build. We can not to repent because then we cut off our communication to God. In this war it is worth it to sacrifice everything. In this war we will have to. Look to the Savior in all that you do and change to become more like him. Rely on Him. Trust Him. Build that trust daily. Obey with exactness because you love him. Reach out to others because you love them to and you see them how God dose. None of us are perfect, I am far from it, but that's okay. I write this because I need these things. I Thank You for your examples that have taught it to me.
I love you all.
