I have been edified and enlightened this weekend by the beautiful talks that were given for stake conference yesterday and today. I always come away feeling lifted up in spirit as I hear the words of wisdom from our leaders, they are so inspired in their advice for us. It really does astound me to think that so many others are struggling with the same things that I am struggling with. Surely the Lord doesn't inspire someone to write a talk for just one person in the audience. Thus, many people need to hear the same things I need to hear. For some reason that comforts me.
The adult session focused on the importance of family history work. We were told some really neat stories about people being able to find their ancestors through the means of people that they have never met. I love hearing stories about how the Lord works in mysterious ways. These stories are proof to me of how the Lord has a hand in our lives. The Sunday session focused on feeling the inspiration of the spirit in our lives, living our standards, and thwarting Satan's efforts through constant prayer, scripture study, and focus on what is truly important.
Last week was a really tough week for our Bishop and family. First, my husband went out of town on business and it happened to overlap with our daughter and her babies visiting us. So, three days that she was here, he didn't get to see her. Then, he flew back into town Wed. around town and then we drove our daughter to the airport Thursday morning at 4:30. Yes, that is early, and yes, we did go back to bed when we got home. ;o) Then he worked all day Thursday and I will spare you the details but it was a bad day. His non-boss boss was in a foul mood and he got the brunt of it. Thursday evening he had the yearly ward audit and didn't get home until close to 10. Friday was another fun filled day at work, and then Friday evening and Saturday were filled with youth conference which he attended and was a chaperone for during the entire event. Sunday was a rough "bishop" day that he couldn't talk about, and quite frankly, I didn't want to hear about. That leads us...
