Thank you!!!
That was FUN ;)

the finale.

oh friends. it's been such a good ride.

these past few days were like a personal echo for me of days that have passed before this exact conference weekend years before.

and as the trial fades, choices made. i realized. i once again have been left with a more resilient desire to follow the Lord. to turn to Him.

satan does all he can to pull us down. ESPECIALLY when we have an opportunity this grand. to hear Gods words made just for us at this moment. its astounding really.

i studied yesterday but didn't record my thoughts. i am glad though that the words came into me. i am not perfect, but God knows my heart, he knows the effort i have put in. the even when my heart ached, i chose every day to accept and study, even if just for a few moments.

'righteousness is essential in the process of achieving an enduring conversion'

'come to a knowledge of the truth, be converted and remain firm in the faith of Christ unto the end'

i realize. God knows we are totally going to mess up.

'we are surrounded by so much that is designed to divert our attention'

He just wants us to try. to return from the bad as unhurt and fast as possible.

i feel like i have a new resolution. and that i can have peace.

'don't despair. time and trust are on your side....the Lord loves me and will make me equal to my mission'

these were some of the thoughts we were left with. these men, Gods words, are so inspiring:

' are the life and teachings of jesus Christ embedded in [my] mind and souls?'

'do [i] pray for miracles?'

'seek to know more about Jesus'

'speak more frequently about Jesus Christ'

'on God, that ye must build your foundation'

'reflect on the life, mission and Resurrection of our Savior'

'ponder the teachings and then apply them in your life'

'my counsel for all of us is to look to the lighthouse of the Lord'

'the Lord hears your prayers'

'find expression in all you do'

'we cannot be casual in how we prepare'

I hope that everyone has felt at least one piece of revelation, guidance. one happier thought, one more second turned to the Savior. that we have been humbled and come prepared to be inspired and directed as we learn more about the person we should strive to become.

don't be afraid, believe.

i don't know what tricks satan has pulled on each of you as this conference approached. but i know that we can win.

i really believe that God knows that 'we want to serve Him' and i know that if we 'Trust in the Lord with all [our] heart' that 'He shall direct [our] paths' and that 'His promised peace be with us'.

i loved doing this. and i hope to do something when this session becomes available.

i love you all.
