Elder Bloxham - Conference week!!

What a wonderful General Conference!! These men and women are so inspired! I have learned so much from them this October. It's amazing to see questions answered as you watch. As they speak the way the Lord speaks, it touches our heart so perfectly! I wanted to say a couple of quotes that I loved from conference;

Elder Richard G. Scott "Never say that you are "too busy" to study the scriptures. Reading the scriptures is more important that sleep, eating, or anything! We need to study to scriptures and make them a priority". Wow! That talk was so powerful, and amazingly rebuking :)

Elder David A. Bednar "Come and See". This talk was so powerful as well! Simply, when people want to know why we are different, you don't necessarily have to tell them, just show them :) Have them come to church, let them inside your home. Show them why you are different!

President Henry B. Eyring. I don't have a quote from him, but I loved his talk! President Eyring always is talking about the examples in my life. I also was able to reflect on the examples that have been in my life. There are so many! From coaches, to parents, to my friends. There are so many examples in my life, and I am sincerely grateful for them! This also brightens my spirits to become a better example to those I see as well. There is always somebody watching, and there is always somebody who you can help, as you are already an example to them.

We heard several talks about sustaining our wonderful and inspired Prophet, and I too want to take this time to say that I know that he is a Prophet of God! The spirit is the ultimate teacher, and if we want to know spiritual truth, we must spiritually receive answers. The Holy Ghost has taught me that he is a Prophet, and that the Lord has called him for us today. He has also called 12 Apostles to help and assist in the marvelous work! These Prophets, Seers, and Revelators are here today, for us. As we heed their council, we will be safe, secured, and more important, happy! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
