the first weekend of october.

We filled our weekend with Chinese food, BYU football, General Conference, a girls night/Priesthood session, more General Conference, apple pie, and a game night with friends.  It was a great break!


Favorite one liners from conference:

"Through repentance, you can qualify for all the blessings of heaven."
Elder Quentin L. Cook

"They can be a heaven sent blessing to you."
Elder Russell M. Nelson, in regards to missionaries

"There's something in each day to cherish and rejoice in."
"Have we not reason to rejoice?"
"We cannot take for granted one single day."
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

"Lessons taught at home are becoming increasingly necessary."
Elder L. Tom Perry

"No trial is so large that we can't solve it together."
Elder Neil L. Anderson

"Thy will be done, and in thine own time."
President Henry B. Eyring

"We are surrounded by those who need our kindness, service, support, example, and love."
Sister Linda K. Burton, quoting President Thomas S. Monson

"Did you love me?"
"The crowning characteristic of love is loyalty."
"We have truths to share and good to give.  We can't quit and we can't go back."

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

"The opportunity to be a blessing to another often comes unexpectedly."
"The Lord is in the details of our lives."
