Conference.

Generally, I don't enjoy General Conference. I have a hard time with it. I have a hard time sitting still, paying attention, not texting, and opening my ears.

This conference, I tried a little harder, and it helped. I watched a full session and listened to parts of two others, which for me, is pretty good.

I admit I have a hard time with the church sometimes. I have a hard time living all the basic principles, let alone the more complex ones. I'm just trying to survive here.

I may struggle with it, but I still feel like I'm supposed to be in it. There is something about it that feels right. I've grown up all my life learning things about it and building a strong belief in it. My faith was tested and I lost it for a little while, but through good people and hard prayer, I gained it back.

Even though I have a hard time with this faith, I still believe in it. I still stand up for it, and I still love it. And I'm pretty sure I always will.
