Go UK!

Lets just state the facts.  March is a wonderful time of year.  Spring means putting up winter coats, cleaning up yards, popcorn starts a popping from the apricot trees, and people finally  make their way out of hibernation.  Yes for all these reasons I love March.  But mostly my excitement and love for the month of March comes from two very important events.  Both celebrations stir my soul to such excitement that I rarely can contain myself.

The first is March Madness.  Oh how I love it.  In college there was a very large white board that hung in our kitchen.  Seriously it was as big as some of my friends.  Each year we would spend hours drawing out the mega bracket so that we could all stay up to date on what is happening in the NCAA tournament world.  Nothing else has the power to bond an apartment full of girls quite like some good basketball.  As a missionary I have now down sized a little.  There is a folded piece of paper covered in tournament updates on my nightstand by my scriptures.  I am at the mercy of others for my tournament information. Yep I am still a junkie.  A poorly informed one, but a junkie all the same.  The good news is that I am in Kentucky now so I can more properly cheer for the Wildcats.  Go UK!

All that excitement can not compare however to the refreshing peace and trills that come into my heart as I anticipate General Conference.  Twice a year people all over the world can gather to hear the voice of God's prophet upon the earth today.  Conference brings with it the same excitement as a holiday.  It means family gathering together to be edified by the teachings of God.  It means council applicable to our time.  Conference means that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  I know that our Heavenly Father loves us just as much as He did the people that lived at the time of Moses or Noah.  He cares about our happiness and success.  More than any other time in the history of the world we need Him.  I am grateful that he loves me enough to call a prophet.  A living voice to teach us all that the Father would have us do working under the direction of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.  This weekend everyone can have the chance to participate in this amazing conference.  Thanks to modern technology the words of God's servants on the earth are carried by radio, satellite, and Internet in ninty-two different languages.  I can promise that great blessings will come into your life as you take the time to listen to this message of hope and direction.
