General Conference 4/2014

This past weekend was a lot of fun. We got to watch General Conference, spend time with family, and play a lot of games and such. We also found some pretty flowers in our itty-bitty backyard... SPRING!!

I really liked the message from Pres. Uchtdorf in General Conference. All of the messages are on lds.org already :O ... if you want to, you can look them up here... General Conference April 2014.
A great quote from President Uchtdorf, "In light of what we know about our eternal destiny, is it any wonder that whenever we face the bitter endings of life, they seem unacceptable to us? There seems to be something inside of us that resists endings.Why is this? Because we are made of the stuff of eternity. We are eternal beings, children of the Almighty God, whose name is Endless and who promises eternal blessings without number. Endings are not our destiny. The more we learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ, the more we realize that endings here in mortality are not endings at all. They are merely interruptions—temporary pauses that one day will seem small compared to the eternal joy awaiting the faithful. How grateful I am to my Heavenly Father that in His plan there are no true endings, only everlasting beginnings."

I know that the messages and insights shared in this meeting are messages inspired by God. Each person prepares their message individually with the guidance of the Spirit. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true and wonderful and the gospel of Jesus Christ is full of hope, forgiveness, love, eternal promises, family, and joy. I'm grateful for the Savior's love for each of us, He knows us all by name and we can rely on Him.  -Love, Us
