Conference weekend is always a crazy time, mainly because no homework gets done. And I have alot of it! I really enjoyed this weekend. Joslyn and her parents came up to see the Sunday morning session. We hung out Saturday, went shopping, witched a movie, and went out to eat...good times all around. None of us got to sleep before 3:00 am. ^_^ So the next morining, Mike and I did not make the morning session. So the Sunday afternoon session could't be a bust as well. We drove up there with Mike's friend Sean. As we walked passed the protesters, very few on this cold rainy day, one man said something that made me think.
"Why would you want to be a Mormon?"
As we walked through the gates to the tabernacle, because we were too late for the standby seats, I looked up and saw the Salt Lake Temple. I got the warm fuzzies. The reason I want to be Mormon is because of that building. I know that my family will always be a family. I will always be Michael's wife. We are in it for the long haul, unlike many civil marriages that last until the romance or the money is gone. We are going to stick togther because that is our purpose here on earth.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to be a mommy. Sure my carreer choices bounced around, but nothing could sway my desire to be a mother. As a member of the LDS faith, I know that my family will be a family after death. The joy that is felt within the family is irreplaceable. The peace of being with you spouse in the temple is overwhelming. Nothing is more valuable to me than that knowledge.

I couldn't agree more!! I am so excited to be a mother VERY soon... and to know that our family is forever! I love conference weekend... :)
I agree with your sister. I couldn't agree more. I ask the question "why wouldn't you want to a member of our church?" with the blessings of eternity, the blessing of the spirit, and the knowledge and comfort we gain from knowing our father in heaven... oh man I could keep going... ha ha.
Thanks for your blog!
Amen sister!! hehe I wouldn't trade this gospel for anything! It is such a strength to me during my trials, and it's amazing knowing that we are never truly alone. Plus why would anyone want to live a life believing that everything ends at death? It's depressing! I love knowing that death is just another step in our journey!!
