Over General Conference weekend, we joined some friends at a cabin in Bryson City, NC and enjoyed playing games, eating yummy food, watching conference, hiking, and using the hot tub!
Alec did so great and it was so fun to have him with us!
The talks from conference were fantastic! One of my favorite quotes is:
"Many voices in the world today marginalize the importance of having children or suggest delaying or limiting children in a family. My daughters recently referred me to a blog written by a Christian mother (not of our faith) with five children. She commented: “[Growing] up in this culture, it is very hard to get a biblical perspective on motherhood. … Children rank way below college. Below world travel for sure. Below the ability to go out at night at your leisure. Below honing your body at the gym. Below any job you may have or hope to get.” She then adds: “Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling. You do not collect children because you find them cuter than stamps. It is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in. It is what God gave you time for.”" From Elder Neil L Anderson's talk.
All of the talks were uplifting and inspirational, but as a new Mom I am constantly searching for opportunities to be uplifted and I reaaly enjoyed this talk about children.
