177th Semiannual General Conference

I wasn't able to watch conference as it happened but I did watch it on BYU TV on http://www.lds.org/. While my kids played and watched TV I hid in the computer room and watched it on the computer. I love general conference. I really have loved it for all my life. I love to be able to watch it and think. It's a whole different thing now that I have kids who don't understand why I want to be left a little bit alone for 4 hours and watch church on TV. Carter calls conference, Mommy's special show. I think that's cute! Their were some really great talks on Saturday. Sundays session hasn't started yet as I write this. I have to say my favorite talk on Saturday was Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. It really strengthened my testimony to see and hear him. It was so amazing to see how strong he was to be able to stand and finish his talk. If you have not seen it, you should. It just reminded me of how much our Heavenly father loves us. What Elder Wirthlin had to say was important and needed to be said to us. I love his talk! I felt the spirit so strong. I usually am pretty bummed about my husband being inactive. When I listen to conference, I'm comforted. I'm so grateful for the church! I think one thing that has been hard for me since being home from my mission is that as a missionary, the spirit and doing what is right came so easy. In the real world is isn't that easy! I never thought in a million years that I would marry a man who later would be inactive in the church! We are both returned missionaries and married in the temple. He blessed both our children! It makes me mad when I think about it but I have faith and hope that he will come back. When I listen to conference I feel better and I hear so many wonderful things that would help him. All I can to is hope and pray he'll come back! Right now he works on Sunday but he won't always work on Sunday. I can't wait until he comes to church with me and my boys. That will be a great day! Until then I need to do everything I can to be a good example to my kids. I'm trying but it can be hard to do it alone. I am trying though.
