What a wonderfully splendid weekend. Semiannually in October and April I get to look forward to my birthday and half-birthday! ha! Just kidding. Those are only added bonuses to C O N F E R E N C E weekend. I get seriously excited weeks before because it's pretty much the best weekend ever having the opportunity to listen to prophets and apostles of the living God.
I had quite the list of questions this time and some were answered right then and there and others I can't wait to go back and study the talks even deeper to find answers!
I was able to go up to Salt Lake both days and it was fabulous! We had tickets Saturday morning and there is just something I love about being in the conference center with thousands of other people that have the same beliefs you do and being in the presence of the prophet. ahhh so great!
The rest of the sessions we spent in the theater in the visitor's center which was also fabulous! And you get to beat the rush of all the people at the conference center. In between the sessions on Saturday we took a walk up to the Capitol building. Jordan worked as an intern up there this semester so he gave us the tour. I was fascinated by it all! It brought back memories of my AP Government days when I learned about all that stuff and I was reminded about how much I loved it! There is just this energy there and it's so classy! I was just eating it all up! And Jordan was able to answer all my questions. What an incredible experience he had!
Being with two boys, food is definitely a priority. So bright and early Saturday morning after we had left at 7:30am so by the time we got to Salt Lake and parked we had to make sure to go get breakfast before being in the conference center at 9:30 which gave us about 20 minutes. Kneaders was a fantastic choice and they whipped those french toast out STAT. and then right after the second session we sprinted out of there to get dinner at Cheesecake Factory. Talk about fine dining! Sunday was a whole different story. We lived off of graham crackers literally all day. From the time we woke up, until about 10 that night. It was a rough day haha! But the spiritual nourishment kind of made up for it.
We ended that night by going to the Genesis concert. It was quite the different experience to have in an LDS chapel but I think it's really cool that others are given the opportunity to share their faith and culture. Philip was singing with the ROC (Remember Our Culture) choir. They are absolutely amazing! I love their music and their passion. They testify so strongly about our Savior.
I am energized, renewed, and inspired to continue on and keep enduring joyfully through this wonderful life! I am grateful that God still speaks to us today and that He has given us a plan to return to live with him. I'm excited to see what the next 6 months have in store!
