General Conference

Different things stick out to each of us at General Conference. This time for me, there was an over arching message of "bring Zion." We heard these messages in several talks. In Elder Christofferson's talk he clearly and powerfully told us that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING ZION! Pretty serious, and pretty urgent I would say. If we want Zion, it is up to us!! It is up to you! In his talk as well as others we heard specific ways that we can move in that direction more directly. We can laugh things off, we can unify our homes, our wards, and our neighborhoods, we can be free with our substance living more closely to the law of consecration because now is surely a time when our brothers and sisters need that from us, and wow, we can link our prayers together through out our days and through out our lives to create our lives spiritually before they are created temporaly! There is power there. Perhaps the most important thing we can all do is seek for and follow our own personal revelation as we seek to become better and follow the counsel of our latter-day seers and revelators.

I LOVE YOU!! This is Di btw, Kyla's sis? How are you? General conference was amazing, and I have to agree that stuck out to me as well. You hit it right on the nail. This whole conference was so refreshing and uplifting in so many ways. They really are the Apostles and Prophets of the Lord! I think it's very interesting how they talked about creating your day spiritualy in your prayers here and at the womens general conference they mentioned the same there. The ARE the latter days and I am so excited to be in them!
Your family looks beautiful!
Peace&Love
