I love General Conference; it is truly an opportunity for revelation and refreshment. We don't have digital cable - the only way to watch it at home in Omaha - so we went to my in-laws, where they had a laptop se up. My favorite talks, quotes and stories include:
1. President Uchdorf's talk on HOPE. I love when he said that hope is both a principle and a commandment. It is manifest in confidence, enthusiasm and patience. Quoting Abraham, when times look bleak, "against hope we believe in hope.
2. Elder Oaks talk on appropriately partaking of the sacrament and preparing for sacrament meeting. "We cannot consistently retain the spirit of the Lord unless we consistently obey his commandments."
3. President Monson's reminder to "enjoy the journey!"
4. Elder Wirthlin's story about his daughter's blind date... who turned out to be there for her younger sister to go babysitting.
5. Elder Christofferson's talk on ZION, especially his thoughts on unity.
Of course, General Conference is ALL GOOD! As Brother Mecham, my institute teacher would say, these are our "marching orders." What are some of your favorites?
Here are a few pictures of us watching conference. Of course, we always maximize our time at the Nelson home. :)
