What manner of Men? Donald L. Hallstorm

 What changes are required of us to become the manner of men (women) we ought to be? (What Manner of Men?)

Our home teachers gave a lesson about this talk when they visited us. My husband Lisiate Feinga and I couldn't help but just ponder about this talk and experiences they had. When my husband and I have disagreements, sometimes we'll just say, that's just how I am. But this talk opened our eyes. We'll say, that's just how I am. We need to make an effort to change. we have to think to ourselves, are you really like that? Who are you really? We get so caught up in the world and begin to think that's who we are. Sometimes we need to sit back and think about our savior. And how be wants us to be. Always remember who you are and who you are meant to be. :)

Be in the world but not of the world. “We must recognize that excellence and quality are a reflection of how we feel about ourselves and about life and about God.” :)

Daughters in the Covenant: President Henry B. Eyring

 You were tutored by Him before you came into this life. He helped you understand and accept that you would have trials, tests, and opportunities perfectly chosen just for you. You learned that our Father had a plan of happiness to get you safely through those trials and that you would help bring others safely through theirs. This plan is marked by covenants with God. (Daughters in the Covenant)

Reading general conference talks is just so humbling. It helps me remember that with every trail or sad feeling I've had in the past and present doesn't really matter. It's a humbling feeling to know that our father in heaven has a plan of happiness to get me safely through trails. To know that, that happiness is the gospel, my husband and daughter. I may get stressed out, overwhelmed, sad or angry at times, but with this talk it has helped me realize that it's temporary. Happiness is eternal, when you turn to those covenants you have promised our Heavenly Father, and that my love for my family and the gospel is eternal. You come to realization that the past is the past. You are you, a daughter of our Heavenly Father who loves you so much that he gave you a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter. :) our plan is marked by covenants with God. :)
