General Conference

The New First Presidency

Conference was amazing this weekend! I always love to hear the Brethren speak. It gives me the extra push that I need in my life to become a little better and to do a little more. I thought there was a strong theme of family throughout the conference and I really appreciated Elder Ballard's talk this afternoon on motherhood. I also felt strongly that President Monson is the true prophet today. It was interesting to see the difference in him. What a wonderful, edifying weekend!
