Conference as always was Amazing!! I still miss watching it at the Cluffs house all cuddled up in the play room. Good times with the Best neighbors in the world. This year I watched it in the church sitting next to the English Sisters, Spanish Sisters, and the Elders in Morristown. I love Missionaries!! One of the talks that stood out to me the most was in the sunday afternoon session, by Elder O. Vincent Haleck. He talked about having the vision to do as the Savior would have us do. He said, "If we are to prosper rather than perish, we must gain a vision of ourselves as the Savior sees us." I just kinda felt the world stop right then and there. That is exactly what I needed to hear. It may have hit me different then he intended it to come acrossed for others but for me I heard, "K.D.!!! You are a great daughter and I am proud of you, open your eyes and see yourself as I see you and you will NEVER doubt again." It is so important that we see things the way they are meant to be seen. Look in the mirror and dont just see the outer you... Look inside and then look at your potential. "We experience hard things in our lives that can sometimes diminish our vision and faith to do the things we should. We become so busy that we often feel overwhelmed and unable to do any more. While each of us is different, I humbly submit that we must focus our vision on the Savior and His teachings. The Savior has a great vision of who we can become. It will take faith and courage for us to refocus on the things that matter most in bringing lasting happiness and great joy". WOW isn't that amazing!! I want nothing more then to go away from this feeling better and more courageous then ever before. I am going to do what it takes to live the vision Christ sees for me. I am going to be the best Great I can be. I love my Savior so much and I am so grateful for Him in my life. I am grateful that He sees such a great person in me, a side of me I often let Satan discourage. "I know that as we gain a vision of ourselves as the Savior sees us and as we act on that vision, our lives will be blessed in unexpected ways."
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
“For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”
Have the faith to see youself as the Savior sees you, and with that the courage to do and act upon those things you know to be right. I am so glad that I have this gospel in my life to help me grow and change daily. Thank you Heavenly Father and Elder O. Vincent Haleck for teaching me this great lesson in Conference. THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!
