Feeling Blessed :)

Collin and I got to watch the October 2013 General Conference, this time from our own home, on television, relaxing in our PJ's. 

 We were so happy to join my sister Kelsey Snowden and her husband Jordan for conference this year. (They live right across the way from us which makes it very convenient. :) ).

On the Saturday morning session of General Conference, we had the Snowden's come over and enjoy cinnamon rolls for breakfast as we watched Conference from our TV. We decided to pass down the cinnamon roll tradition in our family, so I made some. :)

 It smelt so sweet in our kitchen. I love the smell of cinnamon. :)

There was a talk in the Saturday morning session that stood out to me from Elder Uchtdorf. It's called "Come, Join with Us." It's about feeling like you belong in the church, despite your passed mistakes or wrong-doings. I loved it, because I converted into the church when I was 18 years old. It was at that time that I converted into the gospel. Every mistake, every fault that I had didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that I was making the right choice for myself and my family. We became so much happier after joining God's true church. I was so grateful to hear Uchtdorf's inspiring talk. I am also grateful to know that I can live an eternal and blessed life.

The next day, we spent the day with the Snowden's. We ate quiche for breakfast that they made for us. It was sooooo good! :) After the Sunday morning session of Conference, we decided to go on a family walk towards Provo Canyon. We walked on a trail to go up to Bridalvale Falls. It is so pretty up there during this time of year. I couldn't help but take pictures of the beautiful fall scenery.

 

 

 

We also took a few couple pictures. :)

                 


 I realized while walking and looking at the beauty around me that I have been blessed with a truly wonderful life. It's moments such as these that make me grateful that there is such a thing as family. :)

By Sunday afternoon, we enjoyed Conference once more in our home. My brother-in-law Miles joined us which made the day all the more enjoyable. :) This last Conference was so amazing as they always are. I'm so grateful to learn from our prophet and apostles. Everyday, I am striving to be better and I always become inspired when I hear the words from our church leaders. I feel so blessed to be a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the church that will lead us to the glorious Kingdom of God.
