I always try to look for themes in conference.\u00a0But the great thing about conference is depending on your station in life you’re going to pull out different themes.\u00a0 \u00a0With that said, here are\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 some patterns I noticed from my limited perspective.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – Big emphasis on family.\u00a0 This is a normal topic, but the big push this time seemed to be on family prayer and family scripture study.\u00a0 It was mentioned at least 4 times according to my conference Bingo<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – Woman Power! First women praying in conference ever, starting with Sister Jean Stevens of the Primary General Presidency.\u00a0 This came after the announcement Friday that sister missionaries will be able to fill leadership roles<\/a> in the mission field.\u00a0 Recently, I attended a stake conference where Elder Perry spoke, and he said the Elders are going to have to stay sharp to keep up with the flood of fantastic, service oriented, 4.0 sister missionaries that are on their way.\u00a0 Not to mention that the talk by Sister Wixom about unplugging\u00a0 from devices and plugging into our children’s lives was the most meaningful talk to me from this conference.<\/li>\n
- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 -Peace, faith, and hope: Elder Cook, Elder Holland, President Packer, and President Uchtdorf’s messages resonated hope, faith, and peace. Sometimes we probably leave conference feeling a bit guilty, but it was good to hear reassurance that Heavenly Father wants us to feel happy, enabled, and strong with his help.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
We’ll get back to some Ringmasters specific news next week, but I thought it’d be nice to take some time to reflect on what we experienced this weekend.\u00a0 What did you think? Feel free to comment below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Wow, what a weekend!\u00a0 All I can say is thank goodness for DVR.\u00a0 Conference is a different experience with toddlers.\u00a0 It took my wife and I about four hours per session, but we enjoyed the many wonderful talks that were given. First of all, congratulations\u00a0to the saints in\u00a0Cedar City and Rio de Janeiro, and surrounding […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":158,"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157\/revisions\/158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ringmastersonline.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
