Last Sunday, we were challenged in Young Women's to read a conference talk every day for a week. As I did so I was able to come closer to Christ and apply the talk to what was going on in my life, seminary, or something else. It made me realize how important having the Spirit to be with me always and having a living prophet here on this earth is.
I certain talk popped out to me as I pondered over my notes from Conference. It was by Wilford W. Anderson; about hearing the music. He said; "I can teach you to dance, but you have to hear the music."(https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2015/04/the-music-of-the-gospel?lang=eng) I love this, but what music do we want to hear? It made me think about the song Glorious by David Archuleta in Meet the Mormons.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GytW_rgr0RM) In the song it says "it's like a symphony." I get chills from this song and talk they fit so well together. I think it is important to dance your life away, but to the right music. "Everyone plays a part, we sing our own melody s." We need to do our best to be our best, dance with everything you got, to the right music. I don't know how to know which symphony is the best, but I want to find out for myself, I encourage you all to do the same.
I am so grateful for a living prophet here on this earth today, for the opportunity to listen to him twice a year. I am thankful for this gospel and for the impact it has had and continues to have on my life. I love this time of year, everything is blooming and coming back to life, I hope my testimony can continue to bloom. I love you all and thanks for being so awesome!
Love,

Easter
I am overwhelmed with the love of my Savior today. It has been a wonderful experience to listen to the prophet's voice these last two days. I am truly grateful for the living prophet on this earth today. I am thankful for Jesus Christ who suffered and died for me, than rose again so that I may return to live with Him someday. I love this time year, everything is blooming and coming back to life. It makes me want to do something more with my life and strive to be better. I love that I have the opportunity to spend time with my family and sustain the church officers with them by my side. I am honestly blessed by this gospel in so many ways, they are to numerous to count.
Listening to Conference made me realize how important scripture mastery is. During one talk last night he quoted so many scripture mastery's and I was amazed that I could name the scripture reference on so many of them. It really made me wonder if I was doing all I can to memorize them and learn them better. It was really cool to hear him tie so many of them together and be able to understand why they all tie together. I love seminary so much and want to work harder to learn the scripture mastery's better, so that I may feel of the spirit stronger.
Last night I was having a rough night and began to pray. I went into my room and knelt down and continued to pray for peace, I was immediately brought peace and felt calm once again. I know I was blessed by God's grace. I know that God answers our prayers even if it's not in the way that we want them answered. In Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk today he talked about grace, something I liked about it was how he said something about how "God blesses us with His grace after all we can do." (2 Nephi 25:23-26).
I hope you all learned something from conference and I hope you have a great spring break! Thanks for being awesome!
