Elder Oaks

So Emma and I watched Elder Oaks' CES Fireside last night. His wife also spoke. One thing I thought was interesting that she said was, she was talking to the singles of the church (she was single until 53 when she married Elder Oaks after Elder Oaks' first wife passed away)...she said something to the effect of "Do not focus all your efforts on getting married. Focus on being a disciple of Christ." Whether we are married or not, focusing an becoming a disciple of Christ will draw others to us, and I'm sure we will be much happier in life. Elder Oaks (was a Supreme Court Justice) ended his talk about the church and specifically us young adults and the public square. I feel like the world is only getting worse, and he is preparing us that we will have to do lots of petitioning and public standing for what is right. Prop 8 I feel was only the beginning. So yah those were my thoughts, and I'm sure you can re-watch the fireside on www.lds.org for family home evening tonight if you want :)
