Our Conference Party

We were so excited for Conference Day to finally have come. The kids had a count down going....it was really cute. I LOVED conference growing up as a child, notice how I didn't say teenager, but secretly I loved it inspite of my outward expressions. I looked forward to eating donuts and having a yummy pancake breakfast, and of course playing the super FUN bingo game. It's times like this that help me to remember how important a parent's example is... if you are happy and postive about something, your kids will; and visa versa.
So for those of my friends who do not know that Conference is? It is a time where, we as a church, come together to listen to our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and other leaders. So you may ask what has Our Prophet said lately? He has said this...

" My brothers and sisters, may we strive to live closer to the Lord. May we remember to "pray always lest [we] enter into temptation.To you parents, express your love to your children. Pray for them that they may be able to withstand the evils of the world. Pray that they may grow in faith and testimony. Pray that they may pursue lives of goodness and of service to others.Children, let your parents know you love them. Let them know how much you appreciate all they have done and continue to do for you.
Now, a word of caution to all—both young and old, both male and female. We live at a time when the adversary is using every means possible to ensnare us in his web of deceit, trying desperately to take us down with him. There are many pathways along which he entices us to go—pathways that can lead to our destruction. Advances in many areas that can be used for good can also be used to speed us along those heinous pathways.
I feel to mention one in particular, and that is the Internet. On one hand, it provides nearly limitless opportunities for acquiring useful and important information. Through it we can communicate with others around the world. The Church itself has a wonderful Web site, filled with valuable and uplifting information and priceless resources.
On the other hand, however—and extremely alarming—are the reports of the number of individuals who are utilizing the Internet for evil and degrading purposes, the viewing of pornography being the most prevalent of these purposes. My brothers and sisters, involvement in such will literally destroy the spirit. Be strong. Be clean. Avoid such degrading and destructive types of content at all costs—wherever they may be! I sound this warning to everyone, everywhere.."

How grateful we are for our Prophet to guide us through these Latterdays. =)
