April 2011 General Conference

To me, General Conference

is a weekend filled with peace.

To cancel out all calendar events,

and gather the family together at

the feet of the prophets

is a wonderful, and rare, thing.

Elder Richard G. Scott holds a special place in my heart,

and this conference he spoke on the eternal blessings of marriage.

"It is so rewarding to be married.

Marriage is wonderful.

In time you begin to think alike and

have the same ideas and impressions.

You have times when you are extremely happy,

times of testing,

and times of trial,

but the Lord guides you

through all of those growth experiences together."

...

Marriage IS wonderful!

And hard!

But yes, wonderful!

...

This is only one of many, MANY talks meant

for me.

And I'm so grateful for the opportunity to

learn, ponder, and

-the hard part!-

apply these principles!
