I Am a Mormon. I Know It. I Live It. I Love It.

Conference weekend is always so much fun. Some of the talks were exact answers to prayers. I know a lot of people had prayers answered when the new age for missionaries was announced, but that one did not phase me. I have never really wanted to go on a mission. I have thought about it, but I have never felt like I was meant to. Anyways, my prayers came from talks today. President Eyring was the first speaker. He talked about how we cannot insist on our own timetable because God has his own. We have to say, "Thy will be done and in thine own time." I am just not a patient person, and I feel this was one of Heavenly Father's ways of telling me to calm down. President Monson spoke later, but he said that joy comes as we recognize we can communicate with our Heavenly Father, he hears us, and he WILL answer us. There you go. I know he hears and will answer my prayers. I just have to be patient. Elder Hales called trials refining challenges. I thank him for that. I often forget they are anything but annoying. Elder Nash brought up trials once again and said that He will fulfill His promises and will work with us to help us get past our challenges. Brother Gonzalez said when everything else seems to fail He will not fail you. Our conversion to Him is rewarded with our healing. When Elder Holland got up, I knew it was going to be good. He kept bringing up the question, "Do YOU love me?" I am LDS. I know it. I live it. I love it. Elder Holland then said that we cannot quit and we cannot go back. Our call is to come, stay true, and serve. In the his closing remarks, President Monson said as painful as the lessons learned may be, we learn the most when going through trials. Were the talks in conference meant for me? Absolutely not. Did almost every talk apply to me? Yep. So, I just need to work on my patience, keep praying, and become a better disciple of Christ.
