General Conference

I like General Conference.  I love that we get to hear from the prophet and leaders of the church and there is always lots of great stuff to hear.  Usually I make the whole family attend the first Sunday session and Dan and I usually try to get to one alone.  The rest we enjoy watching from the comfort of home, where we can multi-task and not have to keep children quiet- we can just send them away!

This year, with having a crusty-eyed new baby, I wasn't sure we'd make it to church.  Then we learned that it would not be broadcast to our chapel- only to the stake center.  I hate going to the stake center, so that ended any thought of hauling the family out to view Conference in a church setting.  

I do like to go to the church.  I feel like I skipped Sunday if we don't go. I will admit that it is a bit distracting to watch from home.  I feel like I can get more out of it at home, simply because I don't have to worry about what the kids are doing so much.  They were good about staying quiet today, and I got to watch both sessions.  I always enjoy President Monson's comments and I thought the themes today were especially pertinent to me- mostly the listening to the Holy Ghost parts!  Yes, something I certainly need to work on.

I was trying to feel the Spirit as I watched conference, but I'm going to tell you right now, that for part of this afternoon session, I had a really hard time focusing on Conference and keeping a properly sober mindset.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
