Alrighty Then

Hey everyone this week went well mainly because we had general conference this week! Its always so good to hear what the prophet and the apostles and everyone have to tell us and teach us. I am very greatful for the opportunity I had to see all the sessions. Brian came to two of them which was really cool too. One of the families the Herterichs brought us a big meal and we ate it at the church between sessions and it was really fun. Elder Jensen says hi. Ok Elder Holland layed the smack down in his talk it was so good! all of the talks were good! I think its true how we really need to make our lives more open to receiving promptings of the spirit and to work on those christ like attributes (dwain has heared this twice) There are two fruits of the spirtit it is here to inspire and give us power. I know that there are decisions that we aren't able to make by ourselves and we need to strive to go to god and rely on the spirit to help us thorough whatever there is. There were a lot of great stories at conference, what i noticed or i just have always known is every person tells a story and then realates it to a principle. We can look at our lives and really see how much each experience can be a growth experience. Every time Elder Bednar speaks he really lets me feel the spirit. His talk on being more diligent and concerned at home hit me pretty good. Expressing love and showing it is something i can always work on but i am so grateful to have grown up in a home that i knew my parents loved each other and more importantly loved me. Im grateful that they showed by example and let me know that they have testimonies of what they have. He talked about how we bear testimonies but dont always live it and thats another powerful thought for me to think about. And last about being consistent. Thats what im striving to do now. Always be consistent! He told the story of his family having family home evening and how it was chaos a lot of the time and how his kids probably wont remeber what they taught at all but they will always remember that they as a family were consistent! Boom thats big time and so true how consistent are we with the decisions we make. how consistent are we when coming to treating others the right way. And how consistent are we with our beliefs and values? It was an eye opener for me. Im just so greatful for conference twice a year and the opportunity we have to hear these inspired men. On the way home from conference i saw a sweet yard sale. (saturday conference) and they had keyboards for sale 2 for twenty, i bought both for 13 ha so now i have two keyboards but it has helped a lot to play at home and the hymns are coming really easy now. Also it has a mode that lights up the keys and teaches you how to play. So ill have quite the repritor (spelling?) to play for you when i get home. The harmonica isnt really progressing and guitar is the same as when i left. The weather has been fifty in the mornings which i love but is a little chily! haha make sure to put your coats on in rexburg and mt! We sell cows this week correct? or wait know the 22nd? When? Im greatful to be here in Hemet and for the ward that we have. THey are the best for fellowshipping the new people and for feeding us! Anyways so good to be out here. Thanks for the support!
