For the first time in several conferences I was able to stay awake for all sessions of conference and pay attention to almost every minute of every session. It helped that I napped between the morning and afternoon sessions both days.
I spent a good portion of the time feeling depressed by the weight of my burdens. The talks were good but until President Nelson spoke in Sunday morning session I didn’t really connect with any talk. Even then, I didn’t keep feeling peace for much of the time after that talk. I found several talks that Laura should have heard with the Spirit to help her understand. They were generally calls to come back but also the talk by President Oaks where he described how husband and wife should work in tandem.
As I read scriptures tonight about how the Nephites came out of their siege and began rebuilding with the remainder of their supplies I wondered if we would have any remaining supplies (especially emotionally) by the time our siege ends (possibly in a couple more years).
