Conference

Conference is this weekend. I cannot wait. There is just something about it that makes me happy. I know the Lord speaks to us, his children, today. Conference is the perfect time to listen. Here are a few things I've learned. Everyone learns differently, some people can just listen to a talk and remember what they heard and felt. I am not one of those people. I have to take notes, and if I want to remember anything, I usually have to read them too. If I want to gain some insight from conference, I also have to be actively listening. I can't be distracted doing other things, I have to have a notebook and pen in hand ready to write down anything and everything. I used to knit or cross stitch while I listened to conference. I got nothing from it, I thought I was paying attention, but as I look back, I payed more attention to my project. It turns out that for a woman, I'm not that great of a multi-tasker! Sometimes God answers our prayers and our questions through his prophets, so I ask questions, write them down and keep them on my mind as I listen. I haven't always done this, like I said, I am learning, but the times that I have, I have received answers. I am on a mission, a mission to become the best me that I can be. Right now that involves going to college and graduating in a month, putting my mission papers in, and living each day to the fullest. I can't wait to serve the Lord full time for 18 months, but in the meantime and after that I plan on serving Him everyday in any way that I can. I hope you all have a wonderful conference weekend.
