Human

I think that my favorite times to have instructor conferences was a week before the due date (Op Ed) and two weeks before the dead line (Issues Paper). I like having time after the conferences to work on my paper. I felt like during the Rhetorical Analysis after I had gotten the feed back that I needed, I didn't have the time I wish I did to do all I wanted to my paper, but during the other two papers I did. But honestly all in all they were all fine.

I love conference! I feel like the Prophet and the Apostles have something specific for me. It is amazing how relevant their topics are to the issues of the world. My parents always promised me that if I listened close enough my questions and concerned would always be answered in conference... they were right. And it is amazing to think that applies to everyone. It is impossible for me to deny that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet because he must truly be in-tune with God to answer everyone's questions. I just love it.
I also love the prepping for conference. It so nice to start thinking about what questions I have and preparing to feel the Spirit. I like to listen to church hymns and write in my journal. I've found that if I write in my journal it is easy for me to see what parts of my life need guidance and then I have a better idea of what I am listening during conference. I went to the temple tonight and felt the Spirit so strongly, it makes me so excited to hear the Prophet and his Apostles speak so that I can feel that same Spirit again.
It is so hard to pick a favorite speaker, because I think a new one jumps out to me every conference. But my consistent favorites have to be Jeffrey R Holland and President Monson. Brother Holland is so powerful. He knows how to create the most effective tone. I find it impossible to listen to him speak without sheading tears, because you can tell how incredible passionate and how much he believes exactly what he is saying. It is simply amazing. And President Monson. Somehow he manages to address a big issue in my life, and he does it in a way that makes me feel like he knows exactly what I am going through. I always find it so incredible that such a righteous people can speak and still relate to such an imperfect person like me. Brother Packer does this as well. Somehow, even though they are a million times more knowledgeable and more perfect than I am, they make me feel so human.
