General Conference April 2011

I really enjoying talks from our prophet and other authorities of the Church. This conference was no exception. The talk that stood out to me the most in my personal life was Elder Lynn G. Robbins.(Sorry only vocal availability) I am convinced that I've enrolled in Parenting 505 and need all the help I can get! Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's (also only available in vocal) talk was another favorite of mine, explaining how conference is put together and that they are all human. Something I feel a lot of people out there need reminding of. Elder Quentin L. Cook gave a great talk on women in the Saturday morning session.

I think a comment on a blog I follow sums up my overall thoughts of the conference.

"A talk on parents as equal partners that didn’t use the word “preside,” and that said not to judge women who worked outside the home, and one about parenting (gender neutral.) Two talks that mentioned fathers performing nurturing actions, (one getting up and comforting his child, and one playing with his kids.) Admission that the GAs are human, and a reminder that revelation can come slowly and gradually, like the dawn."

See, there is already changes going on, subtle, but happening. This church can't handle big changes. I am proud of who you are, such an earth angel. Love you!
