From a Prophets mouth to my Heart.

This past weekend we had General Conference. Its always amazing what the Prophet and his counselors say to lead and direct us. One of my favorite things to do is get my own copy of the magazine that has all the talks are put into, and then read each talk, mark my favorite things, write notes in the margins, and then write down my favorite quotes. Its uplifting and inspiring.

This past conference focused a lot on the youth, how they should act, how they should choose their friends, and the things they should avoid. Even though these talks are centred to the youth, we as adults can still listen and apply what they say to us. a big deal was music, how there is so much bad music around us and we need to not listen to the bad and only focus on the good. I know that my ipod has songs that shouldn't be on there, but most of the time if we like the artiest or the beat we ignore what the words say. Even if we don't say swear words, but they are repeated in the songs we listen to, thats almost as bad as saying them, because you are numbing yourself to them and getting used to hearing them so you don't care anymore if you hear it.

One of my favorite parts of conference are the stories, and depending on who tells the stories their really interesting to watch. President Thomas Monson (who is the President of the LDS church) gave a funny story, and the facial expressing and movements has he gave it made it the all more funny and interesting to watch, his stories are always uplifting. The story he told on Sunday was about him as a little boy and earning $5 during the depression, and how great that little $5 were, he talked about almost losing it one time because he left it in his pants pocket that were sent to the wash, how sad he was, he talked about praying to the Lord, that the Lord would keep his $5 safe. In the end when you got is pants back from the wash the $5 dollars were still in the pocket, he was so happy, he thanked the Lord and then went on with the rest of his day.

I love the Spirit during Conference its so strong, I hope that the next conference in April will be as wonderful as this one. (which I kinda already know it will)
