President Uchtdorf's Amazing Talk

This last weekend was General Conference. I loved it! It has been a few years since I have been able to enjoy watching it. My work weeks have been landing on conference weekend so I have missed them. Now my weeks have worked themselves around to where I have conferences off. The speakers were all great! My favorite talk was given by President Uchtdorf. He is the second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. His talk was titled "The Hope of God's Light". It was about having the hope of God when you have gone through some bad times. He talked of a little girl who was abused. In order to protect herself she learned to become numb and not feel anything. After she turned 18, she found the church and discovered that there is good in the world. The light of God was shown to here. She took that light and ran with it. She chose to show the light that was in her and not the darkness that she was raised with. From this talk we can learn that even if we feel there is no hope, light or goodness left in the world, God is there. He is the light of the world. All you have to do is open the door and let his light in. Light chases away the darkness. The light of God is in everybody. Every person in this world is a child of God, and therefore have the light of Christ in them. No matter what evils we have endured, hardships we have gone through, or tragedies that have come upon us, our Father in Heaven is there. I know it may not feel like he is there at the time, but believe me, He is there, you just don't realize it at the time. Go to www.lds.org to read his talk. All the talks were great.
