Confrence Weekend

Twice a year we get to go to church in our jammies! That just means we watch General Conference on TV and have the huge blessing of hearing from a modern day prophet, apostles and leaders of Christ's church.

Nana is now home from Utah and the rehab center. So she was here to watch some of it with us! And between sessions on Sunday we took Raquel to the airport and thanked her for bringing Nana home. Then we had a picnic and watched planes land!


What a fantastic weekend it was! There were a lot of messages that spoke directly to me. And I'm so thankful to the Lord's servants who I know deliver His messages to us. Here are my favorite quotes of things I learned. And yes I tried to narrow them down.
