Conference

General Conference was amazing. I particularly liked President Uchtdorf's talks from the General Relief Society Broadcast and the Saturday Morning Session, as well as President Monson's talk at the end of the Sunday Morning Session. They seemed to speak to my soul. It is often hard during the daily struggles to remember all the good things that we should do, but the reality is that these things are what help us through the hard times and I need all the help I can get. I have decided to really make an effort to apply the messages from conference into my life. I hope that what I have learned we will be able to apply into our lives as a family. ~Rachel

Personally, I really enjoyed the last hour of the Priesthood Session. That is probably partially due to the fact that this particular hour was when I was most alert during the 10 hours of Conference over the weekend. It also has to do with the fact that the First Presidency took up that hour. It was really amazing. I don't think I've ever seen them all talk back-t0-back like that before. The whole session was good, but the last hour really stood out to me. I missed most of the talks because I was either struggling to stay awake (Saturday Morning, Sunday Afternoon) or I was fighting with Hannah (Sunday Morning) or I was distracted because of where we were watching it (Saturday Afternoon). I know, that is a bunch of excuses, but I really didn't get to hear or couldn't focus on most of the sessions. I will have to wait for the Ensign to come out and read them (I know I can go online and hear the sessions again, but that just seems a little weird, you know, like having Church on a Thursday night or something...)
