Conference and Scrapping

I had a thoroughly enjoyable day today scrapbooking with Sharlynn and listening to Conference.  I'm so glad we have a sound system that pipes it throughout our house, then we can all listen to it wherever we are.  I especially loved the morning session with my three favorite speakers, President Monson, Uchtdorf, and Holland.  How much better can it get?

President Monson announced 5 new temples and talked about how every worthy able young man has a duty and obligation to keep themselves worthy and able to serve a mission and how the church needs many more senior couples

Elder Holland talked about the sacrifices his parents made for him to serve his mission and thanked the church as a whole for the sacrifices they have made and continue to make for their children to make it possible for the gospel to be spread and that no one is insignificant.

Uchtdorf talked about focusing on the essentials and making our lives more simple in order to draw closer to God.  We need to master the fundamentals of the gospel. Also talked about 4 key relationships we need to develop with God, our family, our fellowmen, and ourselves.  He said some people can't get along with themselves and we need to get to know ourselves better, we need to enjoy God's creations, walk in nature, ponder the gospel and see ourselves as our Heavenly Father sees us with divine potential.  Awesome talk!

Sean, Travis and Tyrel went to the Priesthood session together and then went out for ice cream, which is their tradition.  I can't believe that next conference, Trevin will be old enough to go with them too.
