General Conference April 2014

I love conference weekends! When I was younger I dreaded these two full days of hours of talks, now that I am older I love them. I wish there was more hours of conference we could listen to every 6 months to council us in our lives. Now I wait for my favorite magazine, the conference issue, to mark up and read through.

Conference this April was as amazing as any other. It got on to a great start with Holland speaking first. Fantastic! The 5 things that stuck out to me that we must do in our lives the most is :

1. Prayer. We need to say our morning and night prayers. Praying is our one way to speak directly to our Father in Heaven.

2. Read Scriptures. We need to read our scriptures daily! Reading our scriptures can keep our families safe in today's world full of struggles. We need to make scripture study a priority.

3. We are a temple attending people. We need to attend the temple as often as we can. The temple is our shelter in the worlds storm. Taking our children to the temple even if they can't enter inside should be done as often as we go to do our services inside as youth and adults.

4. Family home evening. Family time is so important for families are forever. Making memories as a family will strengthen our relationships. Family home evening is as simple as spending time together learning of our love for the gospel and each other.

5. Stand up in our faith. Conference was so much about standing up for what we believe in. We need to decide now how we will react to defend our faith. We MUST stand up for what we believe in!

The next 6 months I will focus on these main things in my life and my families. Set goals and work towards success. I can't wait for October to listen to the special council once again from our prophets.
