General Conference

I just got home from attending my first General Conference. It was such an amazing experience.  I am so grateful for my cousin who went with me so that I was able to have that experience. I hope that the experience that we had today will remain with both of us through out the rest of our lives. I am now a firm believer in having questions when you watch or go to a session of conference because not only will you get answers to your questions but you will gain more questions that maybe you didn't know that you had.  I didn't receive answers to all my questions but at this point I am grateful for tomorrow when there will be two more sessions of conference so that I am able to better myself a little more.  I am still totally unsure of my path in the near future and for life but I certainly feel more prepared than I did earlier today! There are not words to express the spirit that I have felt today! I am so grateful for the knowledge and the intelligence that I have been given. Heavenly Father is totally aware of me and the things that I need because he can look and see.  I needed to attend that session of conference. Looking back I can better understand some of the feelings and the thoughts that I had.  I had a friend point out to me that instead of saying that something annoyed me I would say that I didn't understand. I thought about that today as I was in this particular session of conference and thought that I was grateful that I didn't understand a lot of things because thats a better place to be than to be annoyed. I want to understand things I want to learn things so that I can better understand. I love this time in my life because I am young and am able to learn and take things in quickly!  I have also gained a greater understanding of the love that Heavenly Father has for his children. The last couple of days I have had many experiences with children. Last night I was so blessed to be able to care for my nephew while his parents went out for the evening. There is such a spirit about little ones. I just love the things that they bring to the world with a smile and laughter!  Today I was entrusted with my cousin who is 10 almost 11 and was able to take her to this session of conference where the choir that was singing was a primary choir. I think that I enjoyed this children's choir differently and maybe more so that I would have the Tabernacle choir because of the special spirit they bring. I was reminded of how powerful music can really be. Before the meeting started they were practicing the songs they were going to be singing and one of the songs they sang was "I Love to See the Temple".  I felt the spirit so strongly from that song. It was incredible! I wish that I could keep that spirit it all the time. I guess thats the trick of life. How to keep the spirit with us always! I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and am grateful for the great joy and blessings that it has brought to my life! I love Him and am thankful everyday that he gave me the life that I have, Its not an easy one but it is one worth living because I KNOW He is on my savior! I am so excited to see him and run into his arms and feel even more so the love I know he has for me and everyone! I only hope that when it comes time to see him again he will recognize me!  I felt the love that Christ has for all of us today I saw many people who did not have tickets to conference with signs asking for tickets. If I had more I would have given them tickets. It was raining all day and saw many without an umbrella and wished that I had one to give them. There was a woman in front of me in line to go into the building and I sheltered her from the rain. He loves and is aware of us all! All you have to do is look and see the many wonderful things that he has created for us!  Today has been one of the most rewarding days of my life. I only hope that I can live up to the path that has been set before me and pray for the strength to help myself and others!
