every year after general conference is over, i follow along with this wonderful challenge that you can find here on facebook. i find that i can take in so much more and learn much more than i do when just listening along to all of it for two hours at a time.
this time around was especially helpful because i hadn't even had a chance to watch any of it at all with the funeral and everything going on after dougs mum passed away. this way, i had the chance to enjoy the talks one by one and take them in and some of them (well, all of them really! but some in particular) really spoke to me. i was in tears within moments of hearing sister abuerto's talk "the grave has no victory" after everything that has happened in our lives recently and president oaks talk "what has our saviour done for us" was so wonderful. "infuriating unfairness" by elder renlund was incredible, such a wonderful perspective, but my favourite was absolutely "why the covenant path" by elder christofferson. what an amazing talk. as you can see, day 40 of the challenge was to share a talk with someone not of our faith. i know a wonderful guy who i used to work with, who is a very devout catholic, who enjoys sharing religious beliefs with me, so this one was perfect for sharing with him.
i really enjoyed all of the conference and hearing the talks one by one. i feel so uplifted by the words spoken, knowing they are modern day scripture and carefully thought of for our time. what a blessing it is to know the lord still speaks to us. the heavens have never fallen silent, because god loves his children. he always has and he always will.
