Conference Weekend

Wow! Conference weekend was amazing. I managed to attend both Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon sessions. We drove up to Salt lake with my friends from Zimbabwe. It was such an awesome experience and we were all glad that we had the opportunity to be there. We took lots of pictures around temple square but most importantly , we took good notes too. The conference center is such a wonderful place filled with the spirit. Everyone is nice and has a smile on their face.
I couldn't help but notice how clean it was. As i thought about how clean it was, i remembered the story my english professor had shared with us in class. The Young Women and Relief Society in her ward had an activity where they volunteered to clean the conference center. She told us how they had to clean EVERYWHERE including the screws on the seats and floors. This is ridiculous one might think but, as she expalained it is the Lord's house and must be clean. If the spirit of the Lord is present in the buliding then in must be clean.
I enjoyed all the talks especially Elder Richard G Scott's talk. I love how he always talks about his wife. He misses her dearly and loved her very much. It is visible in all his talks and each time he shares a story about her.i feel like i know her. With each and every talk, i grow to know more about her. I also loved Elder Holland's cocluding remarks. He is one of my favorite apostles and i am grateful for the opportunity i had to meet him when he came to Zimbabwe. He came home for diner as my Dad is the Mission President and he is such an awesome man.
He reminded each of us how much we should be grateful for our prophet and all he does for us. I love President Monson and for the revelation he recieves for us today. We are truly blessed to have him.
Although it snowed really bad soon after conference, it was totally worth it. It was hard to drive back home in the snow but all of us never regretted going. We simply drove really slowly and carefully and shared with each other the wonderful experience we had and how we had felt the spirit.
