I was just telling Britton, "if someone were to ask me what has been my most favorite talk from Conference, it would be like being asked, 'who is your favorite child?' I honestly couldn't pick, because I love them all!"

And that's exactly how I feel about going through this week's talk, it's like each talk is exactly something I needed to hear for that week! I hope you are feeling the same as you go through these talks.

I'm so excited for you to learn about Elder Ortega's history, because it is pretty great and also ties in so perfectly with his talk.

If you haven't already, make sure to mark 2 Nephi 31:20 in your scriptures this week, and instead of just reading it and calling it good, really ponder on why it actually is an incredible scripture to help us while we are here progressing on our path to the Savior.

Welcome to the Saturday Afternoon Session of Conference.

Elder Stevenson truly comes out with a bang, when I originally heard his talk, I loved hearing the stats about this cool airport in Japan who never loses a luggage. However, when I went over the talk again this week, I was hit with the overhwlmeing truth of the love that Our Heavenly Father has for each and every one of us, His Children.

I'm so excited for you to go through this talk and pull out your own thoughts, let me know what insights are thoughts come to your mind by texting me in the link or emailing me!

Hello to a new week and a new conference talk! This talk marks the end of our Saturday Morning Session recap! And what a great talk and also a great man. Every time I hear a new talk from President Eyring, my heart grows more for him. 

This talk he goes into the power of prayer and also reminding us to pray in perhaps a closet of some sort. Which if you've been here long, you know I will take any opportunity I can to persuade you to have a prayer closet.

I'm so excited for you to go through this talk, and also let's all agree to read President Eyring's Biography: I Will Lead You Along: The Life of Henry B Eyring, I have a strong feeling we won't be disappointed.

What a great week and a great talk! I'm so excited for you guys to go through this one, I know I saw that every week, but they genuinely are so great!

This week we get to go through Elder Becerra's talk, and this topic I find is a love/hate topic, however, I truly believe after going through this talk, if you haven't already, you really can find a way to love this point of doctrine.

Let me know how you like this talk! And I hope you are having as great a time going through all these talks of Conference, as I am!

Can you believe we are on the 5th talk of Conference? We are cruising!

I'm actually really intrigued by today's speaker and his talk, it is much shorter than I feel the other ones are, and it actually feels like a 'Thoughts in my Head' episode, which we all know I love.

I'm excited for you to listen and hear what you pull out of this talk! Make sure to let me know and just like Elder Teh tells us: Follow the Prophet, He Knows the Way!

So excited to get into this weeks talk from Elder Bednar. 

I hope I not the only one who made this connection between enduring and charity, but if so, I'm glad I'm hearing it now rather than later.

I want to reiterate again, when it comes to truly setting boundaries for ourselves and with others, before you listen to a TikTok video advocating for your self care, make sure you go to the Lord 1st, and see what He suggests. What if the boundary is actually helping this person know they are seen and loved, rather than building a emotional wall like others before have?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this talk!

Wow! What an incredible week! It's like all the thoughts, questions and ideas all collided in my head at once, which if you've been here for a while you know that means it is time for a Thoughts in My Head Episode! + a Conference Talk! The best combo!

I really didn't know what to expect from Elder Gilbert's talk, but I really am seeing every week the power of going through each talk, whether it be a talk I feel directly answers my questions/thoughts that day or not.

I also was reminded 1. Trust in the Lord's timing, not ours. 2. Go directly to the source, when having a question. 3. Faith in Jesus Christ, really helps narrow down a lot of things.

I'm so excited to hear your thoughts on this talk and I hope you have a great week!

I won't lie, when I saw the topic this week was going to be on ministering, I wanted to go and hide under my blanket. It was another thing I'd have to add to my "get better at doing this, let alone at all" list!

Anyone else have one of those? Just me?

I apologize for a little bit of my rambling thoughts, but I hope the main point I do get across is... Ministering is not what I was making it up to be in my head.

I hope there is something you can take away from this episode, but more importantly from Sister Yee's talk, because the more I listen/read to it this week, my eyes were opened.

Such a great talk to start off conference! Also can we just agree how much joy and laughter Elder Kearon has brought into the church body? 

Today we go over Elder Kearon's conference address: About His Business.

I'll be honest, I worried when I realized it was a talk about accepting callings, as that can come with so many mixed feelings, but who better to tackle this topic then Elder Kearon, I was able to come away looking at this with such different insights and a new confidence in accepting callings.

I would love to hear your thoughts from this talk, let me know what spoke most to you!
