Hold On

As many people are aware, the LDS Annual 182nd General Conference happened last weekend on Saturday and Sunday.  It was amazing.  I felt such an incredible spirit listening to all of the talks and messages from the Apostles.  It was incredible to hear the Prophet announce the new age changes to missionaries (boys can serve at 18, girls can serve at 19), if they so choose.  There was a Spirit that I had never before felt, I just knew without a doubt that this was inspired revelation and would change the lives of so many men and women around the world.

I continue to listen to any talks that I missed throughout this session, or that I loved so much I want to re-listen to.  I try to work out while listening...but then I end up just sitting on the ground reflecting on the words I am hearing...so much for working out.  It's ok, feeding my soul spiritually is more beneficial :)

This session has made me reflect on so many things in myself and in my life.  It has made me want to be the best I can and to pray for opportunities of service to come into my life.  I recently listened to a talk this morning that I absolutely loved. It's by Elder Neil L Anderson, "Trial of Your Faith".
 It is so inspiring and helps you realize that you are not alone and that although things may be tough, if you just "hold on", you will be rewarded eternally and find happiness.  I have gone through many struggles throughout my life, but I have learned that if I stay close to the spirit and the gospel that I will ALWAYS BE HAPPY.
I hope everyone has a chance to hear some of these incredible messages and it can draw them closer to our Heavenly Father because they truly are called of God and teach us true doctrine and principles of the true church.  He has created a beautiful world for us to live in, and we should be so grateful for that, and for our bodies.  Treat them like your temple, you have so much worth, and should not feel lost or lonely or unloved.  Turn to Him, you are His child and He loves you and will not forget you.

On a final note, I just want to say how much I love my family! They are everything to me and have shaped me into the woman that I am.  I don't know what I would do without all of my sisters, my brother, my parents, and especially my husband, and I am so glad I am sealed to them for time and all eternity.  They are my happiness!!
