President Uchtdorf

(For make-up points)

I am going to take a break from my normal bucket list items and talk a little about what I have learned from listening to this wonderful session of general conference. I was not able to watch conference on Saturday because I was working, so I will only be writing about Sunday’s talks. I will probably talk about the Saturday session after I watch all of the talks online (That is the beauty of technology).

Anyway, the first talk I wanted to share my thoughts on was Elder Uchtdorf’s talk about the light of Christ. Uchtdorf said that “Darkness exists, but we can choose not to dwell there.” There are always things that are going to be going wrong in the world and in our own personal lives, but as we rely on Christ we can make it through the darkness of sin and trial. The light of Christ gives us the hope to make it through anything. Elder Uchtdorf suggests that to bring the light of Christ into our lives we must first start from where we are. It does not matter how far behind you think you are because belief brings blessings, and as we turn to Heavenly Father in prayer, he will help us to grow. I know that we can receive the light of Christ into our lives more and more every day, and as we do we can be blessed with happiness and clarity.
