General conference

General conference is a wonderful 2 days of guidance and council given to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (and all others who want to watch it) by the Prophet and the Apostles and other General Authorities.
I learned this conference that you get out of conference what you put into it. I have watched many other General conferences, but I came away from this one feeling renewed, recommitted, comforted, hopeful. I sat down with my kids through all 4 sessions (2 Saturday and 2 Sunday) I had paper to take notes. I ended up taking 8 pages front and back of notes. And I came away thinking that this was the best General conference ever. Now was it? I'm going to say probably not, but for me it was because I got more out of it than ever before. During this week I will blog about the things I learned and what was said. But if I do it all today it will be way too long.
I think in all that we do we get out what we put in as one of the speakers said you reap what you sow. This has to do especially with the Gospel. Are we putting in that which we would like to get out. Do we expect Eternal Life and Salvation and our we putting in our whole hearts and minds and strength? Or do we expect all this and half heartedly live the teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ. Are we spectators, sideline sitters, or are we out doing and being what we can and hope to be.

What a blessing it is to have a living Prophet on the earth to day to give us revelation and guidance from our eternal Father in Heaven.
I know that a boy 14 years old went into a grove of trees to pray to God and ask which church he should join. The answer came as God the Father and His Son, our Savior Jesus Christ appeared to him and told him that none were right and called him to a great work. Joseph Smith was the first Prophet of these the last days and there has always been a living Prophet on the earth since that time. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is The only true church on the earth with Priesthood power and the saving ordinances needed to return to our Heavenly Father and receive eternal life and exaltation. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
