I feel like I've been putting a bunch of thoughts on here, but it is good for me to write these things down. So, this weekend we had Stake Conference and our visiting authorities were Elder Snow and Elder Garf. It was so good! Well, in the adult session on Saturday Elder Snow began by paying our Stake President a compliment (something that a government official in Africa said to him), he said "Your Stake President is someone I could go to war with". Well, it was meant as a compliment and a light hearted joke but I thought about it and this is the insight...
Are the people I surround myself with, people I feel I could go to war with? Are they strengthening me in my battles? Am I strengthening them in theirs?
I do have to say that I am thankful to have so many wonderful examples in my life that do strengthen me! What a responsibility we have to eachother, to our husbands/wives and to our children.
His comment just really made me think of the things I spend my time doing...are they serving the purpose they are supposed to? Time is precious, I pray I do what a should with it.

Wow! I really like that thought. Thanks for sharing! Love ya!
I loved Stake Conference too. It was amazing. I found out that night (Saturday) that I am related to Elder Snow. It was fun to talk to him and ask him who his Grandfather was. His Grandfather was my Mother's Great Uncle. And he had a great influence on my mom's and Grandmother's life. I have grown up learning all about him, so to meet his Grandson was very cool. What a night! Plus I saw you for a split second too! :)
