General Conference April 2012

General Conference happens twice a year in April and October. As it draws closer, I find myself anxiously awaiting conference weekend. I always come away feeling inspired, encouraged, loved and blessed. The profound truths that are taught resonate with something deep inside of me. I hope that I become better for it.

This year, Husband and I will be watching from home, sometimes with friends and sometimes with family. Thank goodness for gc.lds.org that makes it so easy to watch conference no matter where we are! Sessions are at 10 am and 2 pm (MST) on Saturday and Sunday March 31st and April 1st.

General Conference

This weekend is the 181st semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Two days to listen to some of the most brilliant men and women in the world give counsel on the most important issues of our time - how to help those in need, how to pursue peace on our own lives, how to build strong families and raise responsible children, how to face the personal challenges that threaten our own happiness and well-being.

I look forward to this weekend every year and I always come away feeling stronger.

If you're interested in catching any of the conference it will be available here, here, here and here starting Saturday morning at 10 am MST. 

LDS General Conference - October 2010

What a weekend! I got to spend most of it watching and listening to General Conference. Everytime I listen to the Prophet and Apostles, my conviction and dedication grow stronger. I want to right my wrongs, stand taller, act kinder and do more good in the world. I feel fortified, uplifted and ready to face whatever challenges are ahead of me.

I am so grateful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. For me, through out my life, it has been a light in the darkness and an anchor in the storms. The better I live it, the happier I am.  In Romans Chapter 8, it is written, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulatoin, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded  that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ out Lord."

It is times like this when I feel that love stronger than ever.
