Church Today

It's Sunday again which means church. I am a Latter Day Saint. I have been my whole life. I haven't always been a good one but that's my issue. Today was Stake Conference. Then I discovered my friends who are in different stakes in this state (Nevada) it is also their stake conference today. Which I thought was weird. Then I went to church. Sacrament wasn't passed. Then they were showing the Stake Center. Which I thought was cool because stake conference is always a mess with parking and with seating.

Then the broadcast changed. It changed to Salt Lake City, UT. Where church leaders spoke to us. There were three speakers. First was a gentleman (I didn't get his name) who has family ties to the Las Vegas Valley. Actually park of Henderson is named after his family. He was very good. Then was a lady who is in the Young Woman Presidency. She spoke about the new Young Woman value Virtue. What it means to her, examples in her life. She encourage mothers to do Personal Progress with their daughters. I thought that was interesting. Then President Monson spoke to us. He was amazing. He was always a good speaker. He spoke about his connections to Nevada. Then went into the heart of his talk.

President Monson spoke about making our homes a House of Faith, House of God, House of Order, House of Prayer, House of Learning, House of Order and a House of Glory. I took notes the whole time. I was a little sad that we didn't get to partake of the Sacrament but I understood why.

Whatever religion you are, my Grandfather always told me be a good one. Remember someone loves you even if you don't see it. Church is a good place to make friends and connections for life.

Sounds like a pretty neat Stake Conference. We have had similar here in California. I agree that President Monson is an awesome speaker! I've always loved to listen to him!
