Love is All there is!

Hi Everyone,

It was our regional Stake Conference today. I wasn't going to go and something keep at me so at the last minute (without makeup) I went. Typically there would be no room at the time I arrived. I found a seat at the back and it was a perfect place to sit. I took a notebook and was prepared for a feast which I'll have to say I did enjoy. Pres. Russell M. Nelson, Pres. Uchdorf, Sister Dalton and Bishop Tingy all spoke. I was filled with love and hope. A love that grows as I ponder and search to know the Savior and God better. I stand all amazed at their love and mercy for all of us. Tending to the conversion of our families is a lifelong process. I loved the quote by Pres. Monson it lends a tenor of strength and hope and love for all of us to step up and no longer be strangers of the word. I had an ah ha as I came into the house about the gospel in general. I feel the members can easily be caught up in pride of their own obedience about how we live. And pass judgement as to how others live. It has come to me so many times that living the gospel around good, obedient people is a breeze and its something we all enjoy and want more of. However~how simple is that. Its easy to love the lovable. Now to learn what the gospel is and then really practice it around those who are less lovable is the challenge and where the joy and growth comes in my opinion. I love you all. I'm so grateful for the good people in my life. And all those who appear less kind and become such good teachers so I can practice the Christ principles. Have an amazing week.
