General Conference 2013
This weekend was General Conference for our church. For the first time since these biannual conferences began, we had 2 women give prayers. I think it's great. I had never really thought about it, but when it was brought to my attention, I did think it was a bit odd that no woman had ever prayed before in conference, now I'm thinking maybe it's a bit odd that there were only 2 women speakers out of about 25 speakers altogether, and that is just how it has always been. I would like to hear from some of the wives of our leaders, and I think it might be nice to have a little more representation in church decisions. One step at a time. One thing that does give me comfort is that the church always seems to go the right direction, even if there are bumps and adjustments along the way. There were some great talks that were inspiring and other talks that were not so inspiring, and one that I just had to take a break from, but overall I think it was a pretty good conference as far as conferences go. I will definitely be reviewing the talks over the next couple weeks.
