General conference

I love General Conference! Luckily I have a great husband who has taught me this. I did like General Conference before, but didn't appreciate it like I do now. In my family growing up we didn't do General Conference, it was an extra weekend off of church. In his family - or his Aunt's and grandparents they watched every session. We decided that is what we wanted to do. When the kids were little it was hard! We came up with games and things for them to do. A lot of times they played with blocks or legos and came up with some amazing temples and conference center buildings.

This year we watched the first 1/2 hour of Saturday's session to see who the newest apostle was and then drove to Boise. I felt like I was breaking the Sabbath! (Idid record it to watch later) I was soo glad that one of the things that Keagan was so excited about going to visit the Reddings was that we got to sit in their cool chairs and watch the prophet on the big screen.

So moms, with little kids, keep it up, it is worth it!

I loved Elder Holland's talk! The church put it w/ video and it is on youtube now. They have a bunch of videos under MormonMessages. They also post them on the lds.org homepage.
