I Heart General Conference

There are few things in this life that help me feel so wonderful as listening to our Latter-day prophets, seers and revelators. With conference coming to a close this afternoon, I have so much to reflect on and change in my life to become more like my Savior. But the most wonderful feeling is that it is possible. Everyone should listen to it!! Saturday afternoon was especially great for me! And my favorite talk so far was from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. It was such a beautiful and bold testimony of true love.

What a wonderful way to spend Easter weekend--learning of the Savior, remembering His great sacrifice, the Atonement, and being reminded how we can become more like Him. I love the Lord and I KNOW HE LIVES!! Joy is found through Him, even in the hard times. And for that I am grateful!!

Happy Easter!
