Feelings

So today unbeknowst to me (till earlier this evening) It is one of my dear friends birthday. I had so much energy today and I was SO happy. I couldn't figure it out. but you know those times where you figure it out later and you're SO grateful. That was me today. I got on facebook probably about six and My friends grandma had posted "

"Just taking a moment on this April 20, 2011 to remember Jordan Rodrick Yates on his 21st birthday. All who knew him loved him....and still do."

To me it had explained my whole day. I had someone with me, leading me, teaching me. I didn't know it. For me today was a day where heaven was so close and it felt SO nice. My spirit definitely got reaqquanted and had a party today with my dear friend Jordan. He was one of the bestest friend/example/giver/support/confident/advice giver/Christ like example I could have ever asked for.

I know I only knew him for 5 ish months but he changed my perspective on life SO much! He was definitely one of the greatest things that has ever happened in my life. I know I don't say how grateful I am often enough. But he was everything I needed when i had him and when he was gone. He was such a friend.
This quote from conference was a great one who totally explained his presence in my life. “Today while listening to general conference, I was intrigued by the words of (President) Dieter F. Uchtdorf when he said ‘Some members in this church would rather push a handcart hundreds of miles, than talk to their friends about the gospel.’ As I thought about this I laughed a little bit, but the reality is that there are some members who would rather do this. But why? We have the 'Good news' of the Savior! This gospel is something that has changed our lives and has the ability to change the life of every individual we know. What joy would it bring to us, to give each person we knew a $100 bill. We would love to see the reaction on their faces, and we would be stunned if they were to turn us down. We have in our possession something that is above any earthly amount of money. So I ask again, Why not share this with everyone we know?” — Elder Bevan

and also these scriptures http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm/moro/7.44-48?lang=eng#44

Here are a couple of quotes from conference I really enjoyed.

• "I fear texts are being sent right now saying, ‘He’s been talking for 10 minutes, and still no aviation analogy!’" – President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

• "Use your hands to text and blog the gospel message!" – (President) Uchtdorf

• "Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words." – (President) Uchtdorf” — Mormon Soprano

I love that heaven is SO close and that people are looking out for us and we can be example to those around us and share the gospel with them. I know the Lord loves us and gives us choice opportunities.
