Twice a year, in April and October, our Church holds a General Conference where messages are shared from our General leaders.  It is aired on BYU-TV and we watch 4 sessions (2-hours each) in our home over the Sat and Sun. 

I LOVE these weekends.  We stop what we're doing and gather in the living room and listen.  The kids color and play quietly (generally).  This weekend I worked on embroidery while listening. 

The messages are pertinent, hopeful and revelatory.  They are full of counsel and instruction.  They are uplifting and inspiring.  They are later published in our Church magazine so we can read over them.

On Saturday morning I went to a sunrise testimony breakfast with other women in our ward.  It was a lovely time for fellowship and renewal.

One of our traditions is to have a big breakfast/brunch on the Sunday morning of Conference.  Derek's sister Audra joins us.

Another tradition (for the last two years) is that we get together with the Hicken's and Dalebout's (usually at D's home) for the last session of the Conference (Sunday afternoon) and have a delicious dinner together afterwards. 

During this Conference, a new apostle was called, Neil L. Andersen.  You can read more about him HERE.

Another highlight was hearing the name of our friend, former bishop and current Stake President, Jonathan Roberts, read in as a new Area Authority Seventy.  What an exciting time for him and his family!

I feel renewed and re-energized…it was a lovely weekend!
