Well, it’s official. I wanted to wait until it was 100 percent, but we shall be uprooting the family and moving to San Diego, California in June. As many of you know, things are rocky with my company right now and the current trend had me looking elsewhere. We’ve never lived out of the state, so it’s time for an adventure. I’m going to be Vice President of Search Engine Marketing for Flash Communications on June 1. After this winter and the inversion, I have to admit, sunny and 75 year-round sounds fantastic.
I asked Sam to go upstairs and get ready to go to the park. This is what he came downstairs dressed like. It reminded me of when I used to see how crazy I could dress myself and my younger sisters and brothers!
We went to the park after the Saturday afternoon session of Conference. The kids had fun and I read a book….sound familiar!
For those that may not have been able to make the Priesthood Session, Pa, here are some of the things that I got from it.
Elder Worthland – Told some stories of playing football. They were fun stories. He talked about not taking your eye off the ball and to do what is right and let the consequence follow. One phrase he quoted was, “The Priesthood means services; bearing the priesthood I will serve.”
Elder Hales – Spoke to the Aaronic Priesthood holders. He said, you made a decision prior to coming to Earth that you would be a leader. Elder Hales calls the 20s the decade of decision. Become prepared for your 20s while you are young. True friends make it easier to live the gospel; are you living and being the friend you would want your eternal companion to be. Do not practice selective obedience. Elder Hales then talked about “being there”. Be there when it is time to get baptized. Be there for your ordination to the priesthood. Be there when your mission is called. Be there when your bride to be is at the alter and be there when the Lord calls you home. Be there!
Bishop McMullin – You are in charge of your world. No one can make decisions for you and no one can force you to do anything. Be Faithful, unencumber your life, and lay up in store. Be prepared in your food storage and be prepared in your spiritual life as well.
Elder Faust – We are the agents of the Lord. Become a man of God. Don’t play victim. You are in charge of your destiny. “In my carrier I was never worse off for standing up for my faith”.
President Monson – There are 6.5 billion people in the world and you are an elect and select few that hold the priesthood. The priesthood is not like a set of clothes that you can take on and off. Make the decision now to put on the priesthood. “Come follow me and I will direct your paths.”
President Hinckley – Be more dedicated. Put your shoulder to the wheel. He then talked about Joseph F. Smith and the dream that he had while serving a mission in Hawaii. ( I will not go into details but you should read about the dream on your own) If you are clean you can face anything. Be ye vessels of the Lord. Be clean in language, thought, body and spirit. Speak clean language, have clean thoughts, don’t get tattoos, stay away from bad internet sites and dress clean. Get an education, it is the door that Joseph F. Smith knocked on. Speak in prayer to the Lord.
