General Conference weekend. :)

It's General Conference weekend!!!!! I have absolutely LOVED this weekend!!!! We got three new apostles, and we miss President Boyd K. Packer, Elder L. Tom Perry, and Elder Richard G. Scott, but we welcome Elders Ronald A. Rasband, Gary E. Stevenson, and Dale G. Renlund. There have been so many great messages this weekend that I needed to hear!! 

Here are just a few of my favorite quotes:
"Exaltation is our goal. Discipleship is our journey." ~~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"Direction is ever more important than our speed." ~~Elder Larry R. Lawrence
"Self-control is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets." ~~Elder Quentin L. Cook
"Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are." ~~Elder Jeffrery R. Holland
"None of us marry perfection. We marry potential." ~~Elder Rober D. Hales
"There is no darkness so dense, so menacing, or so difficult that it cannot be overcome by light." ~~Elder Vern P. Stanfill
"Christ was sent to heal the broken hearted." ~~Elder Dallin H. Oaks
"Only when we see through Heavenly Father's eyes can we be filled with the pure love of Christ." ~~Elder Dale G. Renlund
"No choice, sin, or mistake will change His love." ~~Elder Ronald A. Rasband
"God's ultimate purpose is our progress." "Repentance is individual. But fellowship...is in the church." (I paraphrased that last quote there) ~~Elder D. Todd Christofferson
"Small efforts sustained over time can produce significant results." ~~Brother Devin G. Durrant
"Don't be too critical of the barrier. It's the only thing keeping you from being devoured." ~~Elder Von G. Keetch
"Trust God. Trust Jesus. Trust the whisperings of the Spirit. Trust the counsel of living prophets." ~~Sister Carole M. Stephens
"Repentance is real, and it works." ~~Elder Allen D. Haynie

I have loved all of the messages given this weekend!! I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to watch conference and to listen to and learn from our Latter-day prophets. It is always a blessing to hear their words, especially when their words are desperately needed by me. I am so grateful to be a member of this church!!!
