Twice a year, we get to participate in a General Conference. People around the world can join in a broadcast presented by the leaders of our church. They meet together in a conference center in Utah, and it is recorded and broadcast live all over the world. The living prophet, his apostles and other church leaders give talks and testimonies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I love Conference weekend! We gather around the tv as a family and watch all five sessions. My children look forward to hearing from the prophet and his apostles. We always end the weekend feeling such love in our hearts and spirits.

In that same fashion, our local congregations have Stake Conference twice a year. This past weekend was Stake Conference for my area. We had several meetings. On Saturday there was a leadership meeting, and an adult meeting. On Sunday there is a meeting for everyone.

I was excited to attend because I heard that a General Authority would be in attendance and speaking. I was not disappointed.

Previously I posted about being uninspired. After this weekend, my mind is racing with all of the inspired things that I feel called to act upon. I am so excited. As my husband and I drove home, I told him of the things that I wanted to do.

My husband has always supported me through my crazy endeavors. As I was trying to find the words to explain to him what I wanted to start doing, he smiled and asked what crazy thing I wanted to do now.

I grinned and laughed. I thanked him for all the support that he has patiently and lovingly given to me. Then I explained to him the desires of my heart and the call that I feel to do them.

Of course, he immediately helped me talk through the beginnings of a plan to help make these things happen. I am excited about this new venture. I know that it will help bring light to others.

This is not what I was meaning by “Why”. Sorry, I got so excited about this weekend I got off track.

One of the many things that was said this weekend that I want to share with you is this:

When there is a problem, teach the plan. Teach the Why.

Why are we here on this earth? Why is family so important? Why do I want to do hard things? Why should I endure to the end? Why should I get out of bed today?

There are so many why questions. There are so many reasons. The plan is why. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, click on the highlighted link and read previous posts. There are several so make sure you have some time.

Ask me questions.

Reach out to a missionary in your area. They have answers. They can help you learn of the plan. It is beautiful. It will give you hope. It will help you find your why.

The plan was made with great love. Love that we cannot even comprehend. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother loves us greatly. Can you feel it? It is there.

The plan was created out of love for us to return home to Them. We all chose this plan. Everyone that ever lived, is living, and will live on this earth chose to participate in the plan.

That is your why. You cannot remember, but you chose this. You knew that it would not be easy. BUT you knew that it would be worth it. Try to remember. Pray to Them about it.

Sometimes we don’t get an answer to our prayers right away. Look for it as you go about your day. It will come. Have patience. Have faith. Answers always come. It won’t always be in our desired timing. God knows what we need more than we do.

Pray, trust, wait.
