This past weekend was General Conference, and I loved it. It's nice to have two days put aside to just listen and learn. I tried to get all my homework done and get enough sleep before, which was great. I sat in front of the TV and just let the words that were spoken flood over me! I love each of the General Authorities and the First Presidency. They are all such smart, focused, and well-educated men, and I feel like they're speaking directly to me. I feel like sometimes people think that because most of them are older, they are out of touch with what's going on in the world. I find this to be completely the opposite. In fact, I feel like they know more about what's going on than most of us do, which gives us an extra incentive to listen.
On Sunday morning I actually got to go to a session, which I've never done before. And what was more amazing was that out of the thousands of seats in the Conference Center, some good family friends from California were sitting right next to me! It wasn't planned at all, but I was so grateful because I haven't seen them in years.
So in all it was such a good, relaxing weekend, which I needed since finals start in a few days. And two weeks from now I'll be on a plane to London! Life is going by so fast. I'm starting to feel like if I don't keep up, it's going to leave me behind!
