 I am giving the lesson WAIT, I'm NOT!!! I arranged our visiting teaching appointments for Sunday morning or rather afternoon. Sooo I just studied and prayed about finding the right message for our sisters. I read Pres. Ucthdorf's talk Of Regrets and Resolutions. Since his talk just helped me with my forgiveness problem I appreciate ALL his talks more.

My favorite talk this past conference was Elder Holland's chuck-full-of-the-spirit, very powerful and full of authority message. STILL I saw some things this time since I read it carefully in Of Regrets and Resolutions.

I especially like this line because I am often guilty of it
"We certainly cannot do this with a dragging-our-feet, staring-at-our-watch, complaining-as-we-go approach to discipleship."

This is often my state BUT it is better to be there instead of not doing it at all. Eventually this changes as we are consistent and persistent.

Mor of what I like from his talk:

Discipleship is the pursuit of holiness and happiness. It is the path to our best and happiest self.

Let us resolve to follow the Savior and work with diligence to become the person we were designed to become. Let us listen to and obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. As we do so Heavenly Father will reveal things we never knew about ourselves. He will illuminate the path ahead and open our eyes to see our unknown and perhaps unimagined talents.

The more we devote ourselves to the pursuit of holiness and happiness, the less likely we will be on a path to regrets. The more we rely on the Savior's grace, the more we will feel we are on the track our Father in Heaven has intended for us.

...we must begin to walk that eternal path today; we cannot take for granted a single day.
