Last week I had the pleasure of being at one of my Seminary student’s Young Women's medallion ceremony. At the celebration she had asked her Mia Maid advisor to speak. This sister said something that I had thought about, but never in the way she had put it.

She said that Conference was only a couple of weeks away and a lot of people don’t watch using the excuse that the same 4 – 5 topics are presented every time. But that this is no reason to not watch. She also said that these same topics are presented time after time because they are the things that we need, the simple “Primary” things that will help us to receive Celestial Glory.

Although I am not one of those who do NOT watch Conference, I am one of those who says, “they talked about the same thing they always talk about.” I have always looked at it in a negative way. Always thinking that we keep getting told the same things because we are not doing what is right.

But after she said this I started to think about my friends, my family, and my leaders. I realized that they are doing the things that they need to do. My family is doing what they need to do. Granted no one is perfect, but that is why Jesus Christ died so that we might have grace.

So this year when I sit down to hear the same topics I will be looking at it with a greater appreciation and realizing that the things that are being said to me are for my salvation, my exaltation, for my Celestial progression and not because I fall so short no matter what I do...
