A Special Invitation!

This weekend something very special is happening and I want to invite you to join me.
It's not very difficult or strenuous. It mostly takes time.

I want to invite you to listen to the words of living prophets.
This weekend, the world has the opportunity to listen to the words of actual living prophets.
This has become something that I look forward to every 6 months.

It's not because I get to stay home and watch church in my pajamas and not have to worry about preparing a lesson. General Conference gives me the opportunity to reevaluate how I am doing and how I can continue to improve. There are no assigned topics for any of the speakers and yet somehow they all connect and all have value in my life. I think they all connect for me because the overall tone is one of hope. I tend to get bogged down with how crazy life is and all that I still need to do. For me to hear this repetitive message of hope from about a dozen different people, makes life so much more manageable and enjoyable. I sometimes can be slow at figuring out or managing my feelings, so for me the repetition gets me to a point that I start to really take these messages into my heart and allow them to lift me up.

I want to invite you because I know that the things taught and spoken of at General Conference are true. They will lead you on a path of joy. I am so grateful that there are prophets on the earth today just like in the Bible. The things they teach us don't always fit in with the world around us, but they always fit in with what our Heavenly Father wants us to be. You can watch by clicking right here.
I hope you will watch it with us!
