I've been doing the 10 day social media fast since President Nelson gave the challenge at the women's conference 6 days ago. I've done plenty of fasts from social media before, just on my own because I got tired of it. But oddly enough this one has been a lot harder, I was talking to someone and we decided it's Satan trying to get to us. Since we actually are following the prophet on not doing it over just deciding to not do it on our own.
Another challenge at the women's conference was to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. I'm in 1 Nephi at the moment and reading all about Laman and Lemuel who ALWAYS complained about everything. It's always kind of annoying reading about those two since they always complained so much. Well I was at work today and one of the ladies there was telling me that she's seen huge complaints on social media this week in relation to President Okes talk at conference. I actually saw it somewhat in some group pages right before I started the 10 day fast. I actually looked up the talk tonight because I didn't know what anyone could be complaining about in relation to that talk. I'm still shaking my head because he didn't say anything to abnormal. Other then he did say things in relation to the proclamation to the family. Anyway I find it odd that anything bad is being said about that talk.
But I was thinking about it and I guess it's kind of like Laman and Lemuel who took the truth to be hard. If someone's going to complain about a conference talk then something is amiss.
I decided maybe that was the foresight of President Nelson and maybe some of us needed a break from facebook so we'd miss the complaining. I loved conference and don't want to be affected by those complaining about a church leader stating the truth.
