Can I just say how much I love conference weekend? Conference is always incredible, but this conference seemed even more special to me than previous conferences. Maybe it was because I got to come home and see me family, or maybe I really needed to hear the inspired words shared during each conference session. It's probably a little of both. All I know is now I have a much better understanding of the things I need to be focusing on in my life right now.
It's very easy to get caught up in me, myself, and I. What's going on in my life with my school work, my dating (well ish dating) scene, my financial situation. As Brian Regan would say, I have a serious case of the Me Monster. This conference I was reminded of two goals I should continually be seeking for. Number 1) Seek the Savior and Number 2) Seek family.
It's very easy to get so caught up in and stressed out about life that we forget to ask for help from the person who is able to help and better yet, wants us to help us. Life would be so much easier if instead of feeling like I have to take on the world alone and try to find my own way, I decided to turn to him and let him lead me. I am very thankful for a Savior who loves me enough that he is willing to wait patiently for me to turn to him and let him take me by the hand and lead me. I am so thankful for the knowledge I have of him and how much I was able to learn about him during conference.
There were a lot of great talks on family, particularly the influence parents have on their children. The responsibility parents have to help their children seek righteousness in their lives is incredible. I still feel like starting my own family won't be for awhile, but having my own family is a goal that I want to continually work for. After conference, I feel a push to prepare myself even more for the responsibility of being a mom someday. I am very excited to be a mom someday, and I am very lucky to have a great mom that I can look to as an example for that day. I just want to let both of my parents how much I love them! Through all of my tantrums, tears, and complaints, my parents have always supported me, loved me, and helped me figure life out. Because of them, I have knowledge of the gospel and two great examples of how to live it. Like Nephi of old, I know I have been born of goodly parents. Thanks mom and dad!

you are great! And you really were born of goodly parents! The best part is that our parents continue to be there for us, even after we've grown up. But, more importantly, so does our Savior... He will never leave us. I'm so glad you had such a good conference! Love you!
That was said so beautifully! I loved how you just summed it up that we need to a) seek the Savior and b) seek family. You've always been such a good example of both to me! Love you!
