I love Fall!

Matt and I went on a drive today while listening to the end of the Afternoon session of General Conference. We drove up the canyon in Mantua. It was really quite pretty! I love love seeing all of the bright colored trees. It makes me happy! :) It was nice to get out of the house and enjoy the nice autumn air. We saw a moose and 3 deer. We saw a lake/pond. We saw lots and lots of trees and leaves. Such a Wonderful Day!  

  

My favorite season is Fall/Autumn and everything that comes with it!

I really loved listening (thank you radio - we don't have TV) to General Conference today! My favorite talk in the morning session was probably Elder Dieter F.Uchtdorf's talk, which was about simplifying our lives by slowing down and focusing on the meaningful things in our lives. For me personally I don't think I need to exactly slow down, but doing more important things with my time. Don't get me wrong I do get busy sometimes and life gets crazy, but at this time of my life I almost find myself getting bored. So I need to do what Elder D. Todd Christofferson's talk said, I need to choose to use the time that I do have by doing the things that truly matter. All in all to sum it up I want to change and choose the more excellent way in life!! So what  Elder Richard G. Scott said " We become who we want to be, by being who we want to become." I really want to become a much, much better person than I am now. I don't feel that I am where I need to be, but I really loved what he said, I just need to be that person now. I am so grateful for General Conference to be able to hear words from our Prophets and Apostles. I'm also so HAPPY to belong to this Church and to know that I can change. I have the opportunity to change each and every week, day, hour, etc. (and so do you) I hope you all enjoy more conference tomorrow and the beauty that surrounds us during this time of the year!
