This weekend was Stake Conference! It seemed like the main theme of the whole thing was missionary work, but I just couldn't stop thinking about how wonderful it is that our families will be together forever. The speakers kept mentioning that when all is said and done, and we are no longer on the Earth, the thing that will matter most is the relationships we have developed and the covenants we have kept. It was a good reminder that the things that seem most important now (work, education, accumulating shiny things) are definitely not what matters most, and pale in comparison to the true importance of maintaining good relationships with our spouse, children, parents, siblings, other family members, and friends.
We were counseled to have open and honest communication with our spouses, to go over the little things that might bug us (like where to put the bananas), and to come to an agreement on those little things that don't really matter.
Another tiny theme I noticed is recognizing the Lord's signature in our lives. I love this so much. He really is a part of everything, and it is nice to go to the temple to feel especially close to him. :)
Love you girls!
