Conference was amazing as always! All the talks were wonderful and I was able to watch all 4 sessions, and only had to watch the rebroadcast for the saturday morning, yes its wonderful to live in utah, the stations replay it right after! So it worked out, the kids went to bed and I got to watch them.
Sunday morning we were very lucky to be able to attend the session at the conference center. The Blakes had extra tickets and offered us some and of course we jumped at the chance. I have only ever been to the conference center twice (once for a session and once for a tour) and since having kids I have not been able to go back, so having my "live in babysitter" (thanks dad) we were able to attend and we are so happy we could! Thanks Dave and Mikel!
It started out as a pretty gloomy day, but of course when it came time to show the temple grounds on the tv, everything looked beautiful! We were talking about that as we were walking in the rain (thanks for the umbrellas!) the Daves were talking about how beautiful the outside ALWAYS looks when they show it on TV and sure enough, when it was time, it was beautiful, the rain stopped and the picture of the conference center was perfect, I leaned over to dave and was like thats not outside and hes like yeah it is, you can see the water on the sidewalk, anyways, it was neat and then when we walked out, it all cleared up and was again beautiful!!!
We had to be seated by 9 b/c they have the "music and the spoken word" before the session. The mormon tabernacle choir is really the best!
Then as the session was about to begin, President Monson walked in, everyone stood up and there was COMPLETE silence as the first presidency walked in. Again I have only been once to an actual session and it was the same way, it is so peaceful to be there and have the Prophet in your presence, it is a wonderful feeling and a beautiful experience! I loved his talked that ended the session. I know he is a prophet of God and am grateful for his example, guidance and leadership at this time in my life! When the session was done, again we all stood and he waved and shook some of the kids hands, it was just very special! Again, we are so happy that we had the opportunity to go! Thanks again for taking us!!
