Sunday was Stake Conference where I spent a majority of the time in the hallway with Austin. After it was over, one of my friends said, "Some Sundays are just about creating habits, right?" I agreed. As we got in the car and drove away, I cried and thought to myself that it would have been easier to stay home! BUT, that thought was quickly replaced with a feeling of gratitude for my parents and grandparents that went to church even when it wasn't easy. My parents always made Stake Conference a priority and we lived an hour from the Stake Center. I remember my grandpa going to church each week in his 90s and he was in a wheelchair! My Grandma Pav is in the Stake Relief Society and she serves faithfully.
Now I'm doing my best to make sure these boys know that Stake Conference should be a priority - even when it seems hard, no, especially when it's hard! If we want to know what God has to tell us, we have to go where we know we'll learn from Him - and I know that includes Stake Conference! :)
