Dear Family,
We have anxiously been waiting for this weekend because of General Conference. What a weekend it has been! Do you have a favorite talk? I like Elder Holland, Bednar, and Perry as well as the Prophet's talk. There has been much to build us up and help in these troubled times. May we all do our part in finding an area of improvement and make a change for the next six months. I know I have made notes and will be discussing those things with my wife. What about you?
We Love and pray for you often. Next year we might go down and experience conference in person. I have never been to the new conference Center for General Conference. I do remember back in the day when Conference was in the old Tabernacle. That was the last time I went to conference. We would get up early and drive down to SLC at 4:00 am in the morning to stand in line to get into one or two sessions. Thoses were the days when the Tabernacle held only 8000 people. A large number in its own right, but today the number is something like 22,000.
I got the lawn mowed between session yesterday, and the cars washed in another. All in all, it was a productive day. I got to stay at church between session to watch the church news portion and see all the hightlights of 2008-2009.
Kyle comes home with the family this coming weekend. He gradutes on Thursday. Congratulations, Kyle!
Hope things are going well with you all!
Love,
Mom and Dad
We loved conference here too! You guys should definately try to go to conference next time. I had the chance to do it once when I was in college with my uncle and his family and it was amazing. I will never forget the way I felt when President Hinckley walked in. It was so neat to be there in person!
ReplyDeleteBrayden just got the Easter package you sent in the mail today and he loved it! Thanks so much-that was so sweet of you guys! We'll have him try to call you later tonight!
Love you both so much!
We also loved comference. Except for the fact that I'm sure we passed our germs to Mandy. Poor girl was sick for a few days after. I loved how a lot of the speakers focused on getting to the temple more often. I need to figure out a way to do that.
ReplyDeleteJustin and I especially loved the talk about "you're never alone" we hadn't thought about the aspect of Christ needing to have a spiritual death to understand "us" as well as the physical. It makes sense and seemed like it should have been an obvious point that really hit home this time. I'm so thankful for the Savior in our lives.
xoxo,
Missy
