Conference and family

This weekend members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have the opportunity to listen to the prophets. We are told that if we approach conference with a question then, we will receive the answer we need. I have taken that challenge this time. I never have before. I have already received some answers and I know there are more to come. God guides his prophets to speak the things that we need to hear. He knows our hearts desires and our problems. He has prepared a way.
When President Thomas S. Monson was speaking he shared a famous quote called the Standard of Truth.

“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done” 

I once attended Missionary Prep during my Senior year. The entire class recited this every morning that we had the class. I felt I should share it.

Right now, I also have the opportunity to be with my family. When I got home I was racing to get ready to leave for a play that my step brother is in, the Scarlet Pimpernel. As I was about to leave Mom approached me; My little sister collided heads with her boyfriend and was taken to the Emergency Room for a large black eye. She is really sensitive about how bad it looks right now. When I walked upstairs Krista was laying on the couch with ice on her eye. I walked over to her and knelt down by her. It was pretty bad. I asked her how she was feeling and told her that when I got home I would let her kick my butt at Pac-man. Once I stood to leave Carl called me a Mother Hen.

The play at the High School was Amazing! I think it was the best play I had ever seen. My friends performed so well and the Gentlemen looked so CHARMING!!! Why wasn't I born in old England. :) I was absolutely amazed with the show. The set was amazing! Wow. I really want to buy a DVD of the play. If only I had the money. :)
When I got home I followed up on my promise to Krista. She did, in fact, kick my sorry butt at Pac-Man. Once we were done playing we layed in bed and talked for almost an hour. It was almost weird to me because once upon a time not so long ago, we didn't get along. Here we were being the best of Friends. I feel so bad because she is worried that she looks like a monster. Seth called her Two-Face today and I wanted to beat him up. I actually chucked my hair brush at him.
I'm so happy to be with my family. People tell me that I'm not getting the "real college experience'' living so close to home. I wouldn't change it. It's a real college experience. Just a different one. I love it.
