3. What was your favorite Hymn and why did it move you?
I loved "I Am A Child of God" because both my boys perked up and sang. I always love a Primary choir.

5. Were there any topics that you felt like were repeated often? Any conference “themes”?
For our family, we found a lot was spoken about prayers, scriptures especially the Book of Mormon, listening to the Holy Ghost and following his promptings, service, and that we are engaged in a war with Satan (that the battle field is not as distance as we would like to hope and believe.)

7. Name something(s) that made you smile or laugh during conference.
My sons listening so hard that they could get a treat for our "designated" talk words. The words changed every talk. They did really well and started to listen for extra words.

11. What are some of your post-conference goals?
Better time management. Listening to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I want our home to happy. Very happy so we will do prayer, scriptures, and fight the good fight.

Great reflections. Thanks for being a part of the meme. Conference was so awesome. I love your goals.
It's so gratifying when we can see our kids finally "getting" it. Enjoy keeping your home happy!
I LOVED the Wait Upon the Lord talk by Hales.
But it was all good!
