Thank you, thank you thank you thank you thank you! I wish there was a way I could say thank you to Elder Uchtdorf for that wonderful message about being a parent. I know with absolute certainty that, although that message was meant for many parents, there were things that he said that I know only myself, and the Lord would have known those words when I speak to him and I pray for help as a father. You see, I’m separated from my wife, who is the mother of my two teenage boys, and I am struggling so much right now trying to be a good dad and trying to balance my own life and just figure things out and keep my head level above the world which is spiraling out of control right now. I feel so unworthy and so overwhelmed being a single father, even though the mother of my boys is still in the picture. We are constantly at odds with each other about various things. I’ve been away from the church for a long time and I’m trying to make my way back and I just keep getting things thrown in my way. Almost constantly now. I want to set a good example for my sons and I’m trying to overcome my own negativity about everything going on and I just sometimes feel like I’m in over my head. How wonderful the Lord is and how he speaks to us in such subtle small ways something I told my children is that the Lord does not work through floods he works through raindrops, and when I heard Elder Uchtdorf mention this, I just broke down and cried. I can see the evil all around us now and I’m trying to stay positive and keep focusing on Christ that bright beacon upon the hill but sometimes it’s so easy to lose faith in a world, so filled with stormy seas and dark skies. so many things are lining up now, and I am so grateful that the spirit still comes to me and teaches me things because I don’t feel worthy. I’m working on it though. I’m praying and I’m repenting and I’m trying to do better every day. I have a terrible temper and I’m trying to keep that under control. I want so much to be a good example for my sons, better than my father was to me. The talk by Elder Uchtdorf in this session was exactly what I needed to hear in every way. My heart belongs to the Lord, my God, and everything else I am yes he is as well, I only ask that as his child, he helped me walk a straight and narrow path and be a better example for my children who were his son’s first so that all of us can be together, eternally, and be reunited again. From myself all the way back to father, Adam and our father in heaven. I doubt elder who Dorf will ever see this message, but I will make sure that I am on my knees this evening, thanking heavenly father and the Lord for remembering me, and sending this message to me to give me hope and strengthen me.

I can’t help but feel like I am there. They make my heart feel so good to know that there are beautiful people still in this world who are willing to give help love joy to others. Thanks to all

I was blessed to be at the conference center that day. The Sacred Spirit was strong as usual. I am a personal witness of this great work and a wonder, but mostly and more importantly I testify of my Beloved Savior and Redeemer, JESUS CHRIST, HE LIVES!

[Frankincensedjb]

Sat afternoon session makes you realize just how organized and accounted for the church is by the Savior. Because of it, the church has become a spiritual/material juggernaut that has swept the world in a very brief time. Great stuff.

Thank you to the BYU choir, who sang so beautifully and with such great sincerity and brought such a sweet spirit to this session. I had the privilege of singing with the BYU choir at a session of conference in April 1982. Those sweet memories come back to me everytime I hear a BYU choir singing at conference.

General Conference IS A DIVINE BLESSING, MADE Me A VERY POWERFUL INTERPRETER, THE SECRET IS, JUST SELECTING ONE SPEECH, TRANSLATING IT, 3 TIMES, OR MORE ... GETS ME READY TO TRANSLATE A WHOLE "STAKE CONFERENCE", & I AM NOT THE SAME, BECAUSE TAKES ME TO A HIGHER LEVEL
