I'm back! There were so many inspirational quotes and talks to choose from today, I almost decided to post every single talk that was spoken today.
But I finally managed to pick a favorite for the morning session: Elder Russel M. Nelson's talk about staying true.
I took 14 pages of notes this conference, front and back. That may not seem like a lot, but my notes are going to be coming out in my blog a lot in the future. I took 1 1/2 pages of notes on Russel M. Nelson's talk. My favorite quote was this:
"Saints can be happy in every circumstance."
I personally have a really, really, really, hard time doing this. I can think of a gazillion different scenarios where I'm not particularly happy:
- When your teacher tells you there's a pop quiz
- When you find that your sister has scribbled on your brand-new journal in Sharpie
- When you have to babysit on the night you and your friends were going to go see a movie
- etc, etc, etc
And let's be honest: We can sometimes get really angry about these situations. But we can still be happy.
Elder Nelson tells us that The Plan of Salvation (AKA The Plan of Happiness) is the one way we can find eternal joy. If we have a small trial in our life and we overcome it, that means we will have more joy in our eternal salvation.
Scripture of the week!: 2 Nephi 2:25
"Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy."
If you have something to say or a personal expirience about this scripture, please comment ANY day of the week! (Please keep it Christ-centered). I'll be pulling some of those comments for future posts.
Enjoy your Sunday :)
Your Sister
