General Conference

Can you find us in the crowd?

Yesterday we were able to watch the morning session of conference in the Conference Center.  It was fun being there as President Monson gave his talk about how to get rid of grass.  Everyone in the center was enjoying his facial expressions and pausing that made the story so much better.  We also got to experience the friendly people with the signs on the street who were willing to sing for a ticket to conference.  That was on the way in.  On the way out, they were replaced with all the people who were trying to "save" us from the error of ways.  One man offered to roll up his sign and put on a suit so he could fall asleep during the next session of conference if someone could show him in the Bible where it said that we would be gods.  I don't get what they really think they are accomplishing there but there is that freedom of speech thing that we have to respect I guess.

The best part of the morning was that we sat with Wayne and Libby during the session and got to talk for over an hour.  It was good to see them.  Not much else to report, but wanted to post pictures of the first people from home that we've seen since starting our mission. 

It is so nice to be in Utah and just be able to watch conference on "regular" TV as well as BYUtv.  Cory and his family came over in the afternoon and watched the last session in our hotel room with us.  It was a tad crowded but at least we didn't have a crowd of people to get through when it was all over.
