General Conference October 2014

I know general conference was a couple weeks ago. As I have been reflecting, and re-reading the talks that were given, I came across a video clip that I thought was very powerful. Every time I listen to conference, I always want to become a better person. I always strive to be a little bit better tomorrow that I was today. I have to admit that when I was younger, I was really bad at watching conference and I did not get much out of it because I was busy coloring pictures, doing homework, or messing around with my sisters. When Eric and I got married, we decided that we would make sure that our conference weekends were open so we could listen to the prophets and apostles every 6 months. There was one talk that really stood out to me and it was Elder Holland's talk, "Are We Not All Beggars?" I loved the story that he told about President Monson when he was in Germany. Eric and I have talked about this talk since conference and then we listened to this clip tonight for family home evening and it really made us think about things. We are all so very blessed. Service is something that brings us true happiness and the people that we serve are thankful for what we do for them. I am so grateful for the service opportunities that I am able to participate in. Because we have been given much, we to must give. Hopefully, we can all be better at finding ways to serve others and be better disciples of Jesus Christ.
