General Conference

Last weekend was General Conference for our church, Saturday and Sunday, two sessions each. We started off the weekend with Dennis and Megan coming down from Logan Friday night and stayed with us. We went over to Trish and Scott's where we met up with Bekah, Lee and the crew. It is always so fun to gather around as a family to watch conference, to hear our prophet and apostles speak to us. Of course we always have to have cinnamon rolls along with watching, a tradition, thanks for the delicious rolls Trish! While the boys went off to the priesthood session that night, all us girls went out to eat at Mimi's Cafe and then some dessert at Culver's, then back to Bekah's to wait for our handsome men to come home. I am so thankful for the opportunity we have at this time while we are living in Utah, so close to Salt Lake that we could very easily go to conference, so Chad and I got tickets for the Sunday morning session. Of course we sat in the balcony, but it doesn't really matter where our seats were, it is just such a blessing to be able to go, feel the spirit, and actually be in the same room as our living prophet Thomas S. Monson. We heard a lot of great talks by people in the church and I will never forget the feeling I get while being in that conference center, even though I have been 4 or 5 times now. "God's light is available to all...this is the spirit of Jesus Christ!" "Nevertheless, spiritual light rarely comes to those who merely sit in darkness waiting for someone to flip a switch. It takes an act of faith to open our eyes to the Light of Christ."-Dieter F. Uchtdorf (2nd counselor in the First Presidency for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).
Till next time, another 6 months!
