WOW! It has been a wonderful weekend full of doctrine, inspiration, family fun and relaxation. I'm sad General Conference is over. There were so many wonderful talks given. These men are so powerful and it is obvious they have a testimony of our gospel and Savior. They are so inspiring and I can't wait to get the Ensign and start studying their talks and applying them to my life!
Meredith liked Elder Eyring, who is soooo awesome, and touched on the importance of keeping a journal about the things that happen in your everyday life that show the hand of God. Good for reflecting on, especially during trials in your life.
Holly liked Sister Beck's talk, who will be a powerful RS leader for us women, and the importance of being a mother who "knows" and does less! We have to simplify and focus on the most important things.
Shauna loved them all as well!
I loved those talks mentioned above too, but I particularly liked Elder Condie's talk about how difficult it was for Abraham and Sarah to have children. They were 90 stinkin' years old, my word. Also Rachel and Jacob...she wanted children so bad and had to watch her sister have 7 children before her own, but the LORD DID REMEMBER her and they were eventually blessed with children of their own. That talk was very emotional for me, for obvious reasons!! But gave Landon and me hope that the Lord still remembers us and will hopefully soon bless us with more children as well. I sure hope it is before I am 90 though!!!!
Anyways...I'd love to hear everyone else's favorite talk if you feel like sharing...whether you comment here or post it on your own blog.
After being inside all day we needed a little fresh air and went outside for a walk and the boys snuck in a little football game. It was so cute to see them running around and playing, with daddy trying to coach and teach Tanner the techniques and rules of football!!! Soon enough Tanner will get the hang of it and then my boys will probably be history, playing football together all hours of the day!!

It was the ONLY good thing about our day. ANd the last 20 minutes while I was playing Primary songs and the kids were singing along at the tops of the voices.
I loved the same talk you did...about the Lord remembering Rachel and allowing her to have a child. I think it applies to everyone--I know Grandma Nuttall loved that talk too and felt like it was meant for her...that is the talk that stuck out to me...that and Elder Wirthlin's talk and Eyring's. I recorded the sessions with DVR so I can go back and watch them again when Bay is napping--I can pay more attention.
Hey Jilly, you have already seen my thoughts about conference on my blog... I just wanted to comment that I can tell your photography is getting better! :) I know little about it, but I can tell you are "framing" the image and things. :) he he Good job! Darling Darling Darling pictures of the boys playing football. I love it.
I loved this weekend too. I'm sad it's over. We spent so much quality time as a family. Mondays are always a little sad because John goes back to work and it's back to real life. I know how how I did, bu I must have missed the talk you're talking about. DANGIT!! I'll have to wait for the Ensign and check it out. When does it come? Do you know?
