Dad and I loved our Conference weekend! The messages shared both Saturday and Sunday were inspiring and motivating. I had to put one of the quotes on the window, and hope the message is conveyed appropriately without offending: Personal Purity = Power
I hope people who see the window pause to think about their lives...the kinds of choices they are making whether they be issues of honesty, integrity, or morality, etc.
Hans and Amelia had breakfast with Dad and me and we watched The Spoken Word together and Sunday morning Conference. It was fun to watch them build waffle town houses and share candy at "half-time."
For the afternoon session of conference, Dad and I were completely alone for the first time in 31 and a half years! Wow!! It was pretty cool!!
The message that was shared today that had the biggest impact didn't come over the tv or radio. It came from Hans and Amelia (and Nat and RJ.) We got talking about "hotel rooms" because of Nat and RJ needing to get separate rooms in Arizona since his parents didn't end up going to his game so he couldn't stay with them...and he SHOULDN'T be staying in Nat's room. Anyway, it reminded me of Hans' and Amelia's trip to San Francisco when Hans proposed to Amelia.
He had made reservations at a very nice hotel in San Francisco, for two separate rooms. Well, when they arrived at the hotel, they were told that there were some problems and asked Hans and Mil if they would mind sharing a room since they were short on rooms. When our recently engaged couple declined the offer, the hotel manager said they could have the suite, complete with jacuzzi, etc., and they would "comp" it, meaning their hotel stay would be free, rather than DOUBLE the cost because of the need for two rooms.
Well, they declined, and the hotel somehow survived their troubles. But more importantly, Hans and Amelia had POWER. The power of self-control, the power of integrity, the power of personal purity. I'm betting the price of the rooms was worth it, and then some!!
