Time is Running Out

Well, who's excited for the second coming? Because it sounds like it's coming soon.

This last week has been a complete blast and it's gone by real fast. This weekend has the best stories so buckle up. 

So all week we prepared for a family history booth and and it was really great, so naturally it rained out and we packed up early. But we talked to some amazing people and had a great time while doing it. I missed the Saturday morning session because of it and I'll say this, whether it's a vacation, work, much needed rest, or a family history booth, it's never worth passing up conference. So I'm glad we got rained out, because I got to watch the afternoon session and listen to Holland tell everyone to come to church and be reverent. (I loved Holland's talk). 

Priesthood session was also really incredible and I loved the chastisement I received. By the way, for those of you guys that feel bad about the chastisement you may have felt this last conference change your attitude to a more positive one because chastisement is what shapes us into the beautiful creatures God sees us for. I know that I've had to change my attitude and I will eventually love myself for it. 

Sunday I got to watch all of conference I loved all of it! Did I blink out during Gong's talk? Yes. But can you blame me, I started counting sheep. I really loved Christofferson's talk about service, it really made me think about all the service I've done and the service I'm doing right now to prepare the world for heaven. Every time I heard President Nelson speak I really felt the spirit, and I loved how he announced the temples this time.

I can go on and on about conference and how much I loved it but what I want to share with yall is what stood out to me. It is no coincidence all the talks blended so well together, and I think that Rasband's analogy of the fortresses combines everything together. President Nelson is our prophet and he sees the oncoming attack from the adversary, and he has warned us "time is running out." Elder Christofferson invited us to help others, serve others, or build up their fortresses. Many others shared how the Come Follow Me program will help us build up our fortresses from the oncoming attack.

So let us build our fortresses (if you don't know how listen to conference) like the Nephites of old, so when the adversary attacks they will be like the Lamanites, outmatched.
