Aloha e Kahalu’u ‘Ohana…
At the beginning of every General Conference, my mind always drifts back to the days when it was so easy for me to sit with my notebook (I’m a sucker for note taking) and focus on the talks. Then when my ‘ohana grew, it involved activities to keep the kids occupied and me listening but maybe not getting the chance to take notes. Nowadays, it’s resorted to 100% attention on the kids and me accepting the reality that I may only get to hear a few things from a few speakers…in actuality I’d have to wait until the Conference was made available online and then I’d listen/read them later.
I used to feel robbed of MY time, MY opportunity to hear our church leaders address ME. But then I came across this quote by David O McKay that put things into an eternal perspective…it helped me realign my attitude, “No other success can compensate for failure in the home.” There'll be plenty of chances for me to read the talks on my own…but there will only be one opportunity to listen and watch with all of my kids. Focusing on THEM while the voices of those inspired by our Heavenly Father play in the background was how I could make sure ALL in my home could get the most of General Conference.
It is my hope that no matter what season you are in at this point in your lives, you are able to simply listen. I have a testimony that this will fortify your foundations of faith in the Gospel. Take care
Ke aloha nō,
Kyra Chun
Kahalu’u Ward Primary President
