April General Conference
'Draw Near Unto Me'
President Henry B. Eyring
"The Savior's invitation includes the way to feel that assurance. Draw near Him by always remembering Him. Seek Him diligently through scripture study, Ask through heartfelt prayer to Heavenly Father to feel closer to His Beloved Son."
Elder Shumway is speaking this morning and James and I are so looking forward to hearing him.
Joshua had an appointment this morning at 7:30 with Patriarch Mitch Jones to get his patriarchal blessing. Stacy and Paul went with him. Stacy said the blessing lasted almost 40 minutes. The morning session of conference had already started. They were able to hear all of the speakers. Elder Shumway was the second, right after Elder Bednar. Come to find out Elder Shumway was Paul's brother Aaron's missionary companion in Spanish speaking Philadelphia.
Elder Shumway spoke about service as a way of preparing for the Second Coming. It was great.
Sheri said Max and Evan watched this session of conference with her and Max had some questions. She said she tried to answer them as best she could. Charlie listened to all of conference.
James helped me make chicken quesadillas for lunch. They were a Weight Watcher recipe which made them extra healthy.
I am jealous because Brian and Jared both made cinnamon rolls for their families. I think that is a great conference tradition.
President Nelson gave the closing address at the closing session of conference. His talk was based on the scripture, D&C 121:45:
" Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven." This will be the theme for Inklings for the next six months, confidence before the Lord and charity and virtue.
