Stake Conference

I missed the opening song and prayer but got there in time to hear most of the first talk if how long he spoke is any indication. It was the snow's fault-I had to unbury my car. I also got to wear my ugly snow boots. Sometimes Bing cute has to suffer-I'm glad this doesn't happen too often!!!

President Pffizer's talk about Logan and how he had to change his attitude really struck a note with me. This is something I commit to quit now!!!

I think it was Pres. Hobbs who first asked us who we could fellowship NOW. I immediately thought of my sweet neighbor Becca. She left all these treats and cards at my door for Valentine's day. It was very nice. My mother sent me a pink scarf she crocheted, my visiting teachers gave me chocolate covered pretzel sticks and Becca gave me an assortment of stuff. I plan to bake her some cinnamon rolls. I need to do that today. I'm glad I had that reminder. Sooo it would've been better with a boyfriend with money who could've bought me some diamond earrings and took me to dinner. Getting flowers would've been good too. I DID get candy from all the AFTER-Valentine sales and chocolate cupcakes also the day after that I bought MYSELF!!! Valentine Schmalentine-bitter? MayB a little bit!!!

Conference was good. Reminders about the spirit and how powerful it is-U can deny the Savior and be alright but denying the holy ghost is not acceptable. I love how someone said sometimes U Rn't sure if it's the spirit but to do it anyway just in case. I always know it's the spirit when I get a prompting completely out of my comfort zone. I think it purposely sometimes is confusing. We are supposed to use our brain and come up with things ourself too. Other times the spirit is so clear and powerful and I can't do anything else or rest until I do what it says. I ALWAYS want to do what it says or what I might think it's telling me. I'm fine with however people perceive me-it may hurt but I'd rather hurt and feel stupid than not do what it says.-This is probably the single most important reason for being physically fit. Our ability to sense the spirit is directly connected to our health. Sometimes it is so subtle. We can't pick up on this unless we've perfected ourselves physically.

I looove that tomorrow is a holiday!!! I have sooo much laundry-I'm going to do that, make myself some lunch then work on making those cinnamon rolls for Becca. I'm so grateful for my testimony and for so much guidance that I don't have to work for to receive. I know the stuff I work for is the REAL stuff BUT there's already so much I can do and gain from now.
