Another Monday...Another Conference Talk...and I'm not mad about it at all!
And also Day 1 of 12 Days of Munch & Mingle!
Today we go through Elder Johnson's conference address and I say it every week, this might be my new favorite talk! Elder Johnson used to be a forensic accountant and so it would make sense why the word 'reconcile' would stick out to him.
But his talk goes so much deeper about our relationship with the Savior than I expected and yet I walked away with so much more emotion and motivation to guard my connection with the Savior and Heavenly Father and do all I can to strengthen it.
He also uses an analogy with a cherry shaker, have y'all seen one of those things before? I've got a link for you below!
Also, I linked another talk of Elder Johnson's, a BYU speech from 2022, it is a MUST READ! It will change how you are viewing your priorities!
Let me know your thoughts or any other inspirations that came to you while you were studying this talk.
