General Relief Society Meeting: President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

        I didn't attend this General Relief Society Meeting, and actually I am not a person who enjoys attending conferences regularly. (haha I know this is not good..) Last week was the worst for me and I couldn't even handle my trouble. I didn't know what to do. I just needed to undergo all things and feel bad.. This was so frustrated. I just wanted to go back to Korea. That was what I thought every time. 

      

        I was thinking about my family and trying to focus on study again at that time. Suddenly, Maggie, my roommate, knocked the door and came in. She just asked me how i was doing and I.... cried. I don't know why I cried at that time but I just cried. She hugged me and allowed me to share my problem with her, and she let me know what President Uchtdorf said. 

       

        His speech has these five main concepts. 

• forget not to be patient with yourself
• forget not the difference between a good sacrifice and a foolish sacrifice
• forget not to be happy now
• forget not the 'why' of the gospel
• forget not that the Lord loves you

        It made my heart being warm. I felt so sweet and it was sweet. I had felt that I was always alone and no one would listen my worries or my troubles. However, I should have remembered that the Heavenly Father loves me all the time. He is always with me and he always care about me. I can be happy with this only one reason. I really appreciated my roommates comfort, I really loved President Uchtdorf's speech and I Love our Heavenly Father. 

Happy Happy School Life

       Studying business during last one year was terrible. I didn't even know what I was studying. Just keep following the syllabus and fixed schedule... It was so frustrating. I still do not realize why I couldn't quit studying business and being in a business major. I though that I just needed to.

      Journalism is amazing. The whole world is where I learn and the things that happen all over the world is news for me. I am curious about everything and I want to make this world better. People has a right to know, and I can become one of those who let people know about what happens in the world.

       Recently, I am so happy for studying journalism. I am happy whenever going to "Principle of Journalism" class. I learn the area of journalism and broadcasting and these are amazing. This class encourages me to become a Journalist. I am so happy!

"A Child of God" by Elder Eyring

        I don't really enjoy reading the LDS church articles a lot, but this Elder Eyring's talk is worthy to keep and read whenever we, college students, are frustrated or tired. He suggests five characteristics of great learners.

• Great learners are welcome correction
• Great learners keep the commiments
• Great learners work hard
• Great learners help other people
• Great learners expect resistance and overcome it.

        Especially for me, expecting resistance is the most unfamiliar suggestion because I have never anticipated any resistance before and even I have wished that I would never experienced any difficulty or fail. However, I realized that I need to undergo many difficulties and have a power to deal with any resistances.
