YW Broadcast

Last night was the YW's broadcast. It was really good. I haven't been to a Young Women's broadcast since I was actually in YW about 11 years ago (Yikes!). This year we have been studying the 13th Article of faith. All of the speakers tied the article of faith into their talks. It was also about being prepared and worthy to go into the Temple as well as building and maintaining a testimony. Here are some of the take aways that were highlighted for me personally:
*The definition of Benevolent is to wish someone well
*Be true to yourself and do not judge or criticize others with their actions
*Be virtuous, as this is required to be Temple worthy
*Surround yourself with uplifting and virtuous friends
*Have goals and constantly re-evaluate them
(Here is a pic we took of the Snowflake Temple last week when we were visiting with family)

Then Elder Eyring spoke and here were his remarks:
*"Come follow me" is the Saviors invitation to everyone
*Have a living testimony of Christ and the Gospel-do not rely on a previous testimony for the future (a testimony is every growing and changing and needs constant nourishment)
*Look forward to the future and stop living in the past
(Here is a cool pic of the moon from last week when the moon was huge)
I have had a super long week and hearing the talks during the broadcast helped me to put my perspective in check and more aligned with what I know to be true. Conference with be fantastic next week. :)
