Thank You, Oh God, For a Prophet

In a week, the semiannual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will be underway.  There will be multiple speakers.  They will address different issues and expound on varying topics.  These are the leaders of our church, and as I've discussed before, their word is God's word.  President Thomas S. Monson especially gives us doctrine from God that, if applied, are promised to make us happier, better people no matter your stage in life.  In preparation for this coming conference, I've read his talk:  Love-The Essence of the Gospel.  He encourages us to be charitable.  No one can deny the need for charity today.  Charity brings security and strength to our relationships with others.  As we forget ourselves and work, the Lord will pour blessings on us, and we'll be that much closer to mastering the essence of the Gospel.  

I'm keeping this short, so you can take some time to read through President Monson's words, because his words testify of his divine calling better than I ever could.  I encourage you to read his talk and many of the others.  General Conference is full of great talks, but it will only affect you if you're looking for something.  If not, you may be uplifted, or you may just watch tv for 8-10 hours.  It's really up to you.
