Our stake had a dinner after the broadcast, too, which was very well-attended. The cultural hall was filled with women enjoying yummy tostadas and talking about the great talks. President Monson’s seemed to be everybody’s favorite this time around.

During the broadcast I was struck by what a wonderful thing it is to have a prophet on the earth today – similar to Moses or Noah of the Old Testament. Our prophet, President Monson, didn’t tell us to prepare for a flood, but he does keep us safe in other ways.

It is so easy to become confused about how to apply the truths of the scriptures to our modern lives. To me the prophet directs us in how to apply eternal principles of the gospel to modern situations. It is wonderful to have guidance on family matters, getting along with others, the right balance of technology, and other pressing issues of our day.

Sister Beck, the president of the Relief Society helps President Monson carry out his duties. I love to hear her guidance, even when it can cut me to the quick because I realize there are adjustments to be made in my life.

My stake did host a dinner after the broadcast at our stake center. I would have loved to have been there. I was able to watch the conference online the very next morning with my husband and daughters standing to listen nearby as well.

I love our President, Sister Beck. She is a strong woman whose foundation in personal revelation and the scriptures is evident. I can’t wait to learn more about the history of Relief Society.

Sister Thompson’s talk on Visiting Teaching inspired me to reassess the reasons why I visit my sisters and increased my desire to reach out to the less eager participants on my route.

I loved the dirty laundry/ dirty windows story from President Monson’s talk.

How grateful I am to belong to such a wonderful sisterhood!

I would love to share our experience with the broadcast. We live in Wisconsin and have a small branch and most of the sisters watch at home. However, we did have a small group come for refreshments and sisterhood at the church and we enjoyed the broadcast very much! I am a member of the Relief Society Presidency in our branch and it was wonderful for me to listen to our Relief Society leaders and realize that they are inspired and aware of us. Our goals that we are beginning to set for next year for our sisters are much the same as what was discussed last night for the upcoming year as well. What a wonderful feeling to know and have a witness that our Heavenly Father knows us and is aware of us and our needs. I especially loved hearing President Monson speak and his comments that showed that the Priesthood leadership knows our sacrifices and struggles as well as our triumphs. It was truly a wonderful broadcast.
