Morning time....

We made that decision to listen daily to a General Conference talk and jumped around and finally decided to just start over with 1971 and plow ahead.  Then the recent General Conference rolled around in all it's splendor and we talked- by the time we got to listening to these new talks, our life might have ended already, as we are 44 years behind! So we regrouped.  Again.

Now we are listening daily to the brand new talks.  It is a miracle that we can see and hear something so recently given!  We started with the General Women's Conference (now the official First session of General Conference).  Terry enjoyed them as did I!  It's exciting to hear them again!  and right there, on the screen, is the printed word and footnotes etc.  Talks vary in length from 10 to 20 minutes it seems.

In 1971 Conference was held, 2 sessions a day, on  Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday plus Priesthood session and some of their talks were longer.

Hope you are enjoying going over the talks also!  We also enjoy visiting about the subject!  It's a brief Gospel connection for us as a couple but we really treasure it. 

The above quote is from the Woman's Conference.  The quote below is from 1st meeting Saturday of General Conference.  Elder Eyring quoted President Kimball and we really liked it so I'm 

going to share it with you.  here you go....

”The commandment to fast for the poor has many blessings attached to it. President Spencer W. Kimball called failing to follow that law a sin of omission with a heavy cost. He wrote: “Rich promises are made by the Lord to those who fast and assist the needy. … Inspiration and spiritual guidance will come with righteousness and closeness to our Heavenly Father. To omit to do this righteous act of fasting would deprive us of these blessings."³

My favorite quote!
