This year I was able to attend Women's Conference at BYU in May with some wonderful friends. The final speaker was President Monson. We were so excited and spent over two hours sitting in one spot in the Marriot Center, in the nosebleed section, so we could see him walk in and face him directly when he spoke. Just as he began to walk in some ladies decided to crawl over top of us to get to their seats and I missed him walking in. I felt ripped off and that I had missed something....but I was wrong. The feeling was incredibly overwhelming and as twenty thousand women sang "We Thank Thee O God For a Prophet" the spirit was so strong, undeniably testifying that he is a true prophet of God. With the move I have been feeling like I am far away from Church Headquarters and the Prophet. Sunday as I sat in Primary with the Sunbeams, the Junior Primary sang that song and the exact same feelings I had a Women's Conference came flooding back. The feelings I felt were as if the Prophet was right there in that Primary room. It made me realize I am not far away.

What an awesome experience! Being in Primary is truly a wonderful place to be...the simple truths taught and the songs that are sung truly invite the spirit and I love it! :)
