"We shouted for joy"

"The devil made me do it."

". . . the adversary cannot make us do anything. He does lie at our door as the scriptures say, and he follows us each day. Every time we go out, every decision we make, we are either choosing to move in his direction or in the direction of our Savior. But the adversary must depart if we tell him to depart. He cannot influence us unless we allow him to do so, and he knows that! The only time he can affect our minds and bodies - our very spirits - is when we allow him to do so. In other words we do not have to succumb to his enticements!"

Watch the whole conference talk here and prepared to be enlightened because it's boss. Robert D. Hales is a boss. ALL the general authorities are boss. And on that note....

CONFERENCE IS THIS WEEKEND, GUYS.

Ah.

Happiness.

But really, I've never been SO. FREAKING. EXCITED for a session of General Conference in my entire life. This conference will be one for the books. Yeah, yeah...last year was the one for the records, but not for me. THIS year, I am unbelievably determined to stay awake for all four sessions of conference. Let's turn this blog into a judgment free zone for a post or so because I'm admitting something I find slightly embarrassing....
In all my 19 years and 37 (almost 38) sessions of conference, I have yet to stay conscious for all 8 hours. I know. #pathetic

But this is the year I will be successful. I've been preparing myself- praying, fasting, watching past talks- basically getting PUMPED UP, YO.

Pajama church is the best kind of church and I'm going to rock those Dr. Seuss footies of mine.
