general conference october 2016

what can i say? i love general conference, hearing the words of the church leaders... and i especially love that living in australia and watching it a week after those in the united states, i get to have a feed full of quotes two weeks in a row! ♥ this morning we watched the sunday morning session here at home (on the big screen woo!) and there were two talks in particular that i really loved.

the first was joy and spritual survival by russell m nelson, in which he spoke of finding joy, even in the darkest of times... it was so beautiful and i am sure it was comforting to so many. you can see it here

the other was "to whom shall we go?" which you can find here. this really touched my heart. i know there are so many who struggle with the gospel and are yet to find their place... those who struggle to remain active and those who just struggle in general! i loved hearing his words of comfort and counsel and will definitely listen to it again in time. 

general conference how i love thee!

you can find the whole lot...

october 2014 general conference

i love general conference. i love that it is the opportunity to hear the inspired words of living prophets. prophets living on the earth today, who listen when god speaks to them, so we can hear his words and improve ourselves. doug and i sat together with our babes on sunday morning and watched the sunday morning session (how convenient)... and it was great.

i have always had a quote obsession and have watched general conference with my notepad and pen handy... although these days it's my trusty notes apps on my iphone. thank goodness for pinterest and the ability to store my quote obsession and access it easily.

i loved these two quotes from james j hamula and president thomas s monson... they spoke to me and i quickly wrote them down. how true they are, how true is the gospel and how thankful i am for general conference!

april 2013 general conference

i love general conference. being a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints and being able to hear the words of a living prophet here on the earth... today. modern revelation, just for us. 

twice a year, the members of our church gather at the lds conference center in salt lake city, utah (and all around the world, via satellite broadcast, over the internet - translated into many languages) to hear the words of our church leaders. its a wonderful time, because there is always something in their words that is especially for me. and for you.

the church leaders spoke of the 65634 missionaries currently labouring to share the words of the gospel of jesus christ - the 20000 waiting to enter - and the 6000 currently undergoing the interview process. what a difference the changing of the age has made! all these people, ready to go and preach the gospel. such a wonderful thing.

the church is promoting its message more and more through the efforts of worldwide social media and even published the hash tag (which can be used on media such as twitter & instagram) #ldsconf during the opening and closing scenes of the broadcast. i had a look and there were so many wonderful quotations on line... 

here are a few of my favourites!... hope you enjoy

can't wait for the next one...
