CONFERENCE WEEKEND

This has been such a WONDERFUL weekend! It was our semi-annual church conference yesterday and today and I've had the opportunity to hear all 4 sessions of conference and to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL music and hear uplifting, inspiring, and motivitating talks given by our church leaders. We are so blessed to live in a time where we can just sit in the comfort of our home and watch & listen to conference on our computer... I feel like I want to become a better person by being more kind and patient with all those that I come in contact with, and I want to be more like our Savior, Jesus Christ, and be more loving and accepting of others. We also had the opportunity to sustain the newest Apostle, Elder Anderson, as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and to hear him speak this morning. I testify that he, along with the other 11 Apostles, and the 3 members of the First Presidency are truly Prophets, Seers, and Revelators. I know they receive revelation from our Heavenly Father and that they are a "Special Witness" of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who stands at the head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I know these things are true, because the Holy Ghost has testified of these things to me, through His Spirit. I know that Jesus Christ atoned for our sins, and that through repentance and forgiveness, we can become like Him, and return to live with our Heavenly parents and our loved ones, forever. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and that we can draw closer to our Heavenly Father by following its' teachings, than by reading any other book. I also know that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that he translated the golden plates, through inspiration, to become the Book of Mormon. I feel very blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and to have listened to conference this weekend!
