general conference

so, uh, general conference was pretty great.

it started with...

// new temple in tuscon.  woot woot!
// new temple in peru.
// young men can leave on missions at age 18.  does this mean i can get married to an rm earlier?  i think so.  {if i marry someone my age...}
// young women can leave on missions at age 19!!  woah!!! i've never thought that i should go on a mission, but i've still got 6 years to think about it!

President Thomas S. Monson announced all worthy young men age 18 and women 19 who have graduated from high school will have the opportunity to serve a full-time mission! #ldsconf #lds #missionaries #mormon
{right?}

hahaha.  this kid's reaction was great.

i think it's so great about the age changes.  i think it means that missionary work is going to really take off.  a lot.

anyways...  some of my favorite quotes i wrote down throughout the 4 sessions:

"i'm a mormon.  i know it.  i live it.  i love it." -ann m. dibb

"stop the boys on the bike!" -russell m. nelson

"ask the missionaries, they can help you." -russell m. nelson

"there is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it." -dieter f. uchtdorf

"first observe, then serve." -linda k. burton

"am i doing this for the savior, or am i doing this for me?"  -linda k. burton

i was going to make those all into cute little pics, but i'm too lazy, so here are some {same as what i wrote and different} i found on the lovely pinterest.  thanks, you pinteresting site!

i love it.
