Desirous to see, hear, and know these things

While studying the scriptures tonight, I came across a verse that seemed pretty timely. It’s 1 Ne 10:17 and in it Nephi discusses some thoughts he had following his father sharing the dream of the Tree of Life.

[After] I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost . . . [I] was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost

As I sat thinking about this, the recent general conference came to mind. I was left wondering how often ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù after hearing words from the prophets ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù I desire to see/hear and know by the Spirit the things they taught.

I was left wondering how often, following general conference, I read, ponder, and pray about the words of the prophets.

Probably not often enough.
