October 3rd and 4th General Conference Weekend
It is Saturday afternoon, and I have just listened to two sessions of awesome LDS Speakers. And, it was nice to be alone, by myself, away from the sound of playing children, to be able to absorb the wise and influencial wisdom of our Prophet and Apostles. Though many of the talks seem to be discussed at EVERY General Conference, the continuous repitition only reminds us how we are forever learning and facing challenges and obsticles that obstruct our path to the Celestial Kingdom. Most of the discussions heard through this General Conference have been relayed to our Investigators and Ward Missionary "After-Baptism" Fellowshippers. I am glad that, even though I was only baptized a few years ago, that I can relay to our most recent converts in their newly obtained knowledge and belief! I always love to hear President Iring, for he, and the majority of our Elders, Presidents, and fellow Speakers are people of much wisdom. We have a renound Cardiac Surgeon, a Chemist, amongst other greatly appreciated people, people who may not be "OF" the World, but brilliant beyond our Church. People we can look up to, strive to be like, people who are strongly cemented into their beliefs, and will not allow the World to affect their way of life.
When Ryan comes home, there are many things we need to work on... Scripture study, family prayers (wake-up, bedtime, etc), Family Home Evenings are a few that will be mentioned. We will be visiting the Temple with the family for the first time since we assisted friends receiving their Endowments for their wedding. That was the San Antonio Temple in August of 2008. The last time I was even near a Temple was when I visited Albuquerque this summer with friends. A very beautiful Temple, but sadly, I only saw the outside. We definitely need to visit the Temple on a more frequent basis. Even if that means making a monthly trip to Albuquerque with Ryan. Lubbock is not so far away that we could make a few trips a month.
I love Ryan so much, and believe that he is a strong Priesthood holder, a man deeply devoted to our Heavenly Father, with strong beliefs that will never be deterred by his friends in the Military. I am proud of my Mister, proud of his decision to serve his country, to partake of a mission in Portugal, to push me to become a stronger person, more devote in my own belief. I'm glad that I chose him to Confirm me September 17th, 2006 in our Presidio of Monterey's Young Single Adult Ward. I am a better person because of him, and appreciate everything he does for this family. I can't wait for him to come home, because as I've told him in a recent e-mail, as soon as he's home, he is officially MINE once again!
