General Conference!

This weekend was general conference, which was great!! It's funny but I totally was thinking during just about every talk how something in it applied to my life. Of course by the time conference was over I could barely remember any of the talks. But I concluded it's because if your spirit guided during conference then you'll be connected to spirit guided things that are said. Clearly all conference talks are spirit guided, especially since we always hear people say 'I had a question and it was answered in conference.' I actually did have that experience, life was seeming pretty good so I didn't come up with a question until last night. It was in relation to someone I've had a lot of problems with, super hard to figure out what to do with the situation. But then the second or third talk in the morning session was by Elder Holland on not holding onto problems with people. I was kind of frustrated with that talk actually, but it seemed like Elder Anderson's talk afterward fit right with it on not giving up during trials. So once again it's pretty clear the talks in conference are spirit guided, since I doubt they talked together about their topics beforehand.

But it was a great weekend and one of those where I hate to see the weekend come to an end. Not because I hate going to work on Monday, but because conference was so spiritual and honestly it's probably what people in the spirit world experience all the time. (just a thought) I wish at times like this that I didn't have to go back into the world, but there's no way around it. In order to not be apart of the world I'd have to stay in my apartment and go no where. But it goes to show that conference was great and hope others agree with that!

I found it interesting where President Nelson put emphasis on going to the temple. I have tried to do that a lot anyway since there is a temple in my town. But it made me wonder if the world will get even worse then it is. Anyway I am doing the 10 day fast from social media or at least facebook, since I don't do the others a lot. I am trying to find temple names, but I hit a dead end after finding about 15 on one family line. I have decided that during the 10 days of no facebook I'll try to find names and index. Funny enough indexing isn't bad, you just have to find the stuff that is easier to read. I had tips given to me from people in my ward on doing the war records. Most of those are generally easier to read and besides there is someone who reviews what you do. So need to fear, if you do it wrong someone else should catch it. The idea of it could be done wrong isn't a good excuse to not index. Anyway hope others will join me on finding family names and indexing. Happy Sunday!!
