this weekend was lovely. i got to sit at home, with my family and listen to the words of our modern day prophets. how lucky we are to have such profound examples in our lives who lead and guide us in these latter-days. i live for these 2 days. i look forward to them, they come so slow and go so fast!
i always sit up straighter and listen more attentively when President Monsen stands to speak at the pulpit. this year he taught me much that i needed to learn, and to apply and adapt in my life. if only i could remember to prioritize my life in the way that i know is so right, but i'm human and i make my fair share of silly decisions, really they are silly. he said so graciously, "we leave as better people then we came 2 days ago" and i hope for myself that this is the case, i intend to shape my life in the right way, the way that i know i need to. i want to make it my own personal challenge to do a good deed each day. so that i can ask myself, "what did you Brooke do for someone today?" and i will most definitely have an answer. how fulfilling that may be. i've been lucky to travel around the world and have found that those times when i have had the opportunity to serve others, i am my best and happiest self (more on that later!)
Enjoy all the conference talks here at lds.org
