What a great conference/Easter weekend! Funny how much I loved the talks! I remember just over a year ago when I didn´t even watch a full talk. I tried to but fell asleep in the middle of the talk and never started it again! To now where I watched the talks with focus and about 8 pages of notes.
I loved all of the talks and felt like there was a big impression on families and gaining a better conversion. Something that I just absolutely love is the importance of families in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a family we can grow together on the pathway of God helping and lifting others to come unto him. And in families we can find happiness that we can´t find in any other place. That reminds me of scriptures I read the other day about how we can find happiness.
In 2 Nephi 5 it talks about many points on how we can find happiness and I love it a ton!
6 Wherefore, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did take my family, and also Zoram and his family, and Sam, mine elder brother and his family, and Jacob and Joseph, my younger brethren, and also my sisters, and all those who would go with me. And all those who would go with me were those who believed in the warnings and the revelations of God; wherefore, they did hearken unto my words.
10 And we did observe to keep the judgments, and the statutes, and the commandments of the Lord in all things, according to the law of Moses.
12 And I, Nephi, had also brought the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass; and also the ball, or compass, which was prepared for my father by the hand of the Lord, according to that which is written.
16 And I, Nephi, did build a temple; and I did construct it after the manner of the temple of Solomon save it were not built of so many precious things; for they were not to be found upon the land, wherefore, it could not be built like unto Solomon’s temple. But the manner of the construction was like unto the temple of Solomon; and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine.
27 And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness.
First Nephi was with his family and in the family we can find happiness and love where we can be sealed in a temple of God for time and all eternity. Then they kept the commandments. EVERY commandment and were obedient to them, knowing that God would bless them if they kept the commandments. Then they had the scriptures and the Liahonna. (Liahonna can be words of living Prophets). Always reading them and abiding by there precepts. Then at last Nephi built a temple. I loved the talk by President Monson about the temples and how we can feel the spirit there in no other way and how we should always go to the temple to be able to grow spiritually. I know this to be true that we can receive so many blessings by just going to the temple. As a missionary we can´t go to the temple everyday and it makes me realize how much I just want to go to the temple to feel God´s spirit and to help others with there convenios con Dios. Then finally we read that they all lived after the manner of happiness. By doing these things the Nephites were able to live in happiness and receive many blessings.

During the conference all of the prophets and apostles talked about one of these aspects and how we can better strengthen our testimonies. It was great to hear from general conference and I hope you all had the chance to listen intently and put this practice in your own lives!
With much love
