Families Lumturinë Sep 11, 2017

Stake Conference. The theme was families and marriage. How applicable. I loved it. Some quotes from it:
it makes more sense in albanian. but a quick albanian lesson for the background...

a really serious goodbye like someone you are never going to see again = lamtumirë

happiness = lumturinë


For our marriages we need to work towards the goodbye...i mean - happiness
nice mistake. it was pretty good. 

The overall message I got from conference is that you can't actually go through this life alone. You literally cannot expect to be saved as an individual. You are born into a family. sealed as a family. and that's how you are going to be in heaven. So I guess we better stop being selfish thinking that- well at least I'm doing what I need to be. Ya great. Do what we are supposed to do. Next. Help someone else I guess. Because salvation can't really be selfish. Gotta do it for someone else. Not like you can make anyone else be saved, but you can help them do it. I don't know if that makes sense. It was just a cool way of thinking about it.

President Anderson when he was little went to Israel for 6 months to study there as a family about the Savior. And with their kids, they did scripture study every morning and family home evening. This is how you have a strong family that loves each other. This is how you don't lose anyone. Is it a surprise to anyone that they did that and now they are a mission president? no. It's nice to want a tight family. It's another thing to do the work for it. And then we can all have beautiful little families one day! :)
