Nils and I enjoyed General Conference this past Saturday and Sunday. Of course, we watched it at 7:00pm so it felt kinda funny leaving the church building when it was dark outside. But I am so grateful we were able to watch it, even in Romania.
Romania is a truly wonderful place of opportunity and learning. There were several talks that reinforced a lot of what we've been learning here. The talk by Cheryl Lant about traditions reminded me that there are many precious traditions pass down in families that are worth preserving. It's important to respect and learn from others' traditions. Elder Wirthlin talked about leadership; how leaders should be concerned for the ONE as much as they are concerned for the WHOLE. He celebrated diversity and reminded us that we shouldn't try to all be the same, but appreciate differences. I especially liked how he said sometimes the "slowest" end up going the "farthest". It made me think of language classes.... It's not always about catching on and being able to speak perfectly as much as it is being creative and connecting with people. I was filled to the brim with the beautiful messages and feelings of joy and peace.

I remember living in Burley we used to walk over the Hilma's house to watch conference since somehow we didn't have it at home. I would never have imagined technology advancing to the point where we can watch conference live from our home computer, and since last year, ASL included.
