183rd General Conference

Hurray! Saturday Morning General Conference, mom, Hannah, Abe, friend Jacob, and Julie Pettit were able to go to the conference center for a session of Conference. So cool! We sat in the Terrace and had great seats. The kids thought all the ‘behind the scenes’ stuff was cool: finding the cameras, learning about the teleprompter, locating the organ and pulpit, seeing the crowds and watching the huge building being filled up.We loved the choir (though Abe commented that they sure did sing a lot of songs). I believe angels sing with them! We all joyfully sang Sunshine in my Soul, especially Hannah & Abe… JOY! Hannah and I took notes (it’s so much easier to take notes when littles aren’t needing your help every minute). Almost every talk I declared my favorite from the session, until the next one! The messages were really fantastic. I believe when you actually are able to hear the message and feel the Holy Ghost, you are blessed with that deep stirring in the soul.
“It was huge, crowded, and AWESOME!” Abraham
“It was awesome but in a spiritual way!” Hannah

Funniest moment: Abe having loud hiccups for 15 minutes.

Blessing: We decided to try and use Jimmy’s parking pass to park under the Church Office Building. We slipped right in, quickly walked to the conference center, and zipped home with little run-ins with traffic. It made for a more peaceful experience.

We ate at In-n-Out in American Fork on our drive home. It was fun to go with the Pettits! Great Conference experience!
