Conference Thoughts

Hi!

Man, Conference though, right? It was SO good. I received a lot of impressions and was a highly needed spiritual refresher :)

I think one of the talks that stuck out to me the most was Elder Renlund's - I think as a missionary it's really easy to think that if you're being obedient and working hard you'll see lots of "success" (defined however you will), but sometimes it's easy to get into the mindset of being entitled to those blessings. However, the REAL blessing comes simply by being a missionary (or just a member!) and being able to be forgiven of our everyday mistakes and weaknesses. I think sometimes I've forgotten just how much of a miracle that is - and it is! I am definitely a very different person than I was before my mission, and as I reflect on the things that have changed I am very humbled by that knowledge. So if you're feeling like life just isn't working out, remember that even if circumstances aren't perfect, you're different than you used to be and are becoming more exalted, and that's a pretty huge miracle in and of itself.

Love you all!
