General Conference :)

General Conference was this past weekend and it was awesome. I wrote the heck out of my journal. It was actually the first time I filled a journal! Not just from this weekend. The journal was full of my personal progress, scripture study, and of course my general conference notes. It was also the first time that I sat down and watched all four sessions. I really enjoyed it and I feel like I got a lot out of it. My favorite talk was Boyd K. Packer's. He was talking specifically to the youth. He said that we "are being raised in enemy territory" which is most definitely true. Another quote from him that stood out to me is, "The outcome of the war is not in question: Lucifer will lose." That is something that I think can be really reassuring in those depressive moods that sometimes comes with being a teenager, or a human.
I also like David A. Bednar's talk. He talked about family history and it was the first time that I have heard anyone tell the youth specifically that they can do it, too. I logged onto the site he talked about and started. I don't really know how to do it yet, but I'm completely willing to learn.
Overall, Conference was super good and I can't wait for it in April.
