Recognize that baby face?
Yep. David Archuleta is off on a mission.
I wonder if he'll get doors slammed in his face as often as the average missionary?
I was remembering my young missionary self. That would have been pretty awesome to sing at general conference. Especially the closing song Praise to the Man.
The man being Joseph Smith.
Gwenyth, her friend, and I all sang along with gusto.
"Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!"
They taught the little children that hymn in church this year.
I love that my kids know that song.
I loved all the talks today but some really have me shouting hallelujah.
Jeffrey R. Holland's talk.
David S. Baxter's (he is my neighbor! He's even come over for dinner at my house)
Elder Baxter directed his talk single parents. It's the best talk I've ever heard on the topic.

Richard G. Scott.
Richard G. Scott especially. He personalized it in a beautiful way.
Talking about personal sacred experiences is like trying to handle the delicate wings of a butterfly without smudging the powder that creates the color and design.
I am so thankful that Elder Scott has the grace and inspiration to be able to share and teach us.
That he would touch carefully on his experiences with his wife Janeane.
Telling us how he feels her support through the thin veil that separates the physical world from the spiritual one.

This is the link to go to if you want to listen to any of these talks.
Today will be another day of general conference. I'm excited to listen. Heaven has felt far away at times over the past few months. Yesterday it felt close and all around me. I've been trying to figure out the ways I must have distanced myself from heaven. God and my wonderful family members on the other side are always reaching out to me. I think my own fears and doubts are the culprit that create the illusion of distance between me and the love from heaven I crave.
It was so wonderful how the kids were so occupied and happy yesterday. I was hardly interrupted as I watched. My kids are getting older. As much as I dream of having the inner strength and the call to have another baby I must say I am enjoying this stage of family life. I love how they are all getting so independent. We can all have a lot of fun together. I hope I'm doing enough to make our home a refuge from the world.
I want it to be a place filled with happy and meaningful memories.
