General Conference

We had a great conference weekend, interspersed with soccer of course. We changed things up a bit on Sunday by forgoing our usual Sunday morning feast, by getting up, getting ready and heading to the Stake Center to watch  conference there. Thanks Bishop Dickson!

As I sat and listened to the prelude music I couldn't help but feel we were doing what we should on that day, at that time. We joined with about 25 other people to hear the words of the living prophets.

Once conference started I looked down the row at all my girls (sans Rylee, hi Rylee!) and watched as they took notes. My heart grew at the sight. Even Andie with her creatively made up Conference Notebook was taking notes (picture to come later).

As we were leaving the Stake Center I told the girls I was proud of them for going without complaining and for taking notes whereupon Haley told me she had to take notes for seminary...still it was awesome.

We went home and commenced our feast as we usually do and watched the second session at home, together as a family. I'm grateful for such weekends and the opportunity it allows us to be together and feel the Spirit.
