  • General Conference

    I have too many thoughts to possibly know even where to start.

    President Eyring's talks both blew me away.  They were so powerful.  When the transcripts are available, I will put some quotes up here.  Elder Daniel K. Judd gave a talk in the Sunday afternoon session that resolved some of the biggest problems that I have been feeling at Church.  I hope that we will all apply what he taught us.

    The weekend has been weird for me.  Some girls in the ward invited me to have waffles and watch the Saturday Morning session with them, and I did.  Then I came back home and ordered pizza with the apartment (by pizza I mean crap, but hey, I'm a college student).  Then we watched the afternoon session together.  For priesthood I went to the Marriot Center with Mark, his friend Josh, and one of my roommates, Brian.  Then Brian and Andrew (different Brian) picked me up and we went to an awesome party at one of their friend's houses.  We ended up crashing there (after more pizza) and waking up to waffles and the Sunday Morning session.  It was great fun.

    Now I am watching the last session of conference and panicking at the realization that I have to do my homework.  I am having a hard time processing everything considering that in the same week the greatest thing that has ever happened to me happened to me, and the worst thing that has ever happened to people very close to me happened to people very close to me, and to me.  That was a very confusing and poorly written sentence.  Forgive me.
