Conference Weekend Thought!

Just a quick little thought I had reguarding conference weekend. Please, to all my friends and family out there, be sure to come to conference or come to watch conference with a question in your heart. I know what I just typed sounds really weird, most ( if not all) of you are probably thinking its supposed to be "come with a question in Mind". And while this has always been true, I have had the privilege sense being up here to read Elder Bednars talk " Seek Learning by Faith".

In this talk he speaks about our hearts and opening them up to the spirit in order to be up lifted and edified! And while having question in your mind is a wonderful idea, it's ineffective. Because the spirit doesn't touch the mind, it touches the heart. By having that question or problem that we need help answering in our hearts, the spirit will be able to more fully reach it. But we have to allow it to, because Elder Bednar also spoke of pride and not wanting to learn because of it.

So Brothers and Sisters, please remember to let go of your pride and let the Lord, our Savior, and the holy spirit answer your question or ease your troubled heart through the words of his prophet.

Because this my struggle every day, and this conference I have my question and I am ready to be up lifted and learn of my God...are you?

I love you Breann. We just had that talk given in RS on Sunday. It was a wonderful talk and it is so true we learn so much more when our hearts are open. Thank you for saying what you did.

Are you sure you are only 18? Your mom must be so proud.
