When I was talking to my friend, Shalyce, about Conference we discussed that moment when Moses came to realize how we are nothing in comparison to God's creations. I suddenly realized I have been there. When I was in the eighth grade I learned in science class that the universe is so vast that we could never get to the end of it and even if we could, it is constantly expanding so that when we got to the end there would be more. At the time I lived too far from a church building to be able to attend church and I had forgotten that Heavenly Father is right there. Ever since I was a little girl I have looked up to the sky at the moon and the stars and they somehow comforted me and helped me remember that I am not alone. I remember, that year in eighth grade, I would sit outside with a quilt my grandmother gave me and I would just look at the sky and feel so tiny and insignificant and lost. A few months later I was able to return to where I could go to church again. That first time I walked in the building I felt like I had come home. I remembered my Heavenly Father and that He is there. Now when I look at the sky I feel that connection again. I know that He is somewhere out there and that I matter to Him. And the beauty of it all is that if you ask, He'll let you know the same thing.

"You matter to Him." What other words do we need to hear?
