General Conference

Yesterday and today was the 184th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was able to listen to most of the Saturday morning and afternoon sessions, but not so much today. The one thing kept sticking out in the talks, the thing I kept feeling like I should do, is have family scripture study. So we tried family scripture study this morning when Henry came into our room. We got through 1 Nephi 1:1. So that's something. It's going to be hard. It takes sacrifice and dedication - actually being awake and not letting Henry just watch TV will definitely be a challenge. But I really feel like this is something that we need to do to help strengthen our family and help us get through the day.

Elder Hales' talk was on obedience. My favorite part was when he spoke on "selective obedience." He said that a lot of times people don't obey a commandment because they don't always know the reasons for a commandment. Just like children don't always obey their parents because they don't know their parent's wisdom. Then I laughed out loud. That is mine and Henry's relationship all the time. Heavenly Father is so understanding and forgiving when I constantly don't heed his warnings, but I am so not forgiving and understanding when my two year old Henry doesn't heed my warnings. That's really something I need to work on.

Anyway, conference was great. Now I have some things to put into action.
