I loved watching General Conference this past weekend. I used to write down notes during every talk, trying to find answers to all my burning questions about the direction of my life. Now, I just listen and feel. It makes it a much more positive experience for me instead of waiting for each talk to be a little compass that is going to point me north south east or west. Mostly this Conference I felt a great appreciation for the Apostles; for the commitment and honor in which they live their lives. And for the testimony they share of Christ and the living gospel.
Sometimes day after day, week after week, I stop thinking about Christ as real and start thinking of him more like an image or statue. Something I'm praying to, not Someone I'm praying with. But watching and listening to the Apostles this weekend I had my testimony renewed through the example and experiences of the Prophet and Apostles that Christ was once a living human on earth, that He is the resurrected Son of God, and that he does visit and teach those of us in our mortal missions on earth.
Just like you can't explain air, I can't really explain this testimony. But I guess that's the great thing about a testimony is that it's in your own heart which understands the temple it beats in.
