General Conference

I love, love, love, LOVED General Conference this weekend.  If you didn’t have the opportunity to see it this weekend, make sure to read the conference edition of the Ensign when it comes out.  It was really WONDERFUL.

I wanted to share a few of my favorite quotes from Conference.  Here they are:

• “You can’t do a Google search to gain a testimony,” Elder Ballard, Quorum of the Twelve
• “Fear and faith can not coexist. One will overcome the other,” Elder Cook, Quorum of the Twelve
• “Discipleship is not a spectator sport,” President Uchtdorf, 2nd Councilor in the First Presidency
• “I am a nobody… and if you ever forget it, the Lord will remind you instantly and it won’t be pleasant,” Elder Packer, Quorum of the Twelve (quoted by Elder Anderson)
• “Fear not; Be of good cheer. Our future is as bright as our faith,” President Monson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
• “You can’t be a lifesaver by looking like all the other swimmers on the beach,” Elder Oaks, Quorum of the Twelve
• “You are never lost when you can see the Temple,” Elder Stevenson, Quorum of the Seventy
• “… Decisions determine destiny,” President Monson (Quoted by Elder Teixeira, Quorum of the Seventy)

These are only a few of the wonderful things that I was able to hear and feel during this Conference and just wanted to share my testimony that I know that as we listen to Conference, if we go to the Lord with a question or thought in our heart, the Lord will answer our prayers through His prophets. There were so many times, that the talks were so personal and perfectly inline with my life, that I know the things they were saying are true.  And I have a testimony that the Lord does know me personally and knows my deepest thoughts, feelings, heartbreaks, joys and loves.  I am so thankful for this Church and the truth, joy and peace it brings to my life.

I’m turning this into a tag and I tag you all!  Post on your blog at least 3 of your favorite quotes from Conference (and write in your journal at least 3 of your “to-dos” that you felt during Conference).  Then leave a comment here and let me know that you posted.  The Internet can be a wonderful blessing in our lives to spread the Gospel or a horrible trap to pull us into sin…Let’s use it for good!
