We enjoyed attending our Stake Conference over the weekend as a family. We had the privilege of having an apostle attend. The boys were so excited to have a real life apostle come to visit them. They were amazingly well behaved during conference and sat so still, it was almost scary - who had taken away my fidgety boys and replaced them with these super good boys? The give away was Tayler who asked loudly every 10-15 minutes, "Mum, I am sooo hungry, when is all this going to be finished, and I can go home?" - ah, that's my boy. Honestly, the boys were wonderful. It was so good to hear them both say in their personal prayers that evening before getting into bed say - "thank you for sending an apostle to us today", my heart also echoes those words.
We enjoyed listening to our dear friends the Kearon's for the last time before they leave for their call to the 1st quorum of the 70, we will miss them greatly. Our ward will simply not be the same without them. We enjoyed the stories and the testimonies, I particularly enjoyed Sister Cook who sang us her testimony, the sweetness of the moment was beautiful, and Elder Cook who shared with great humility his pioneer heritage. We were greatly moved.
How blessed we are to have such wonderful examples in our church leaders, men and women of God. To have the Priesthood restored and revelation through our Prophet. It makes my heart sing! The latest copy of the Ensign came through the post yesterday - ooh, conference Ensign, another reason to sing! I can't wait to get reading, it will probably be my study guide for my early morning scripture study for the next few weeks.

Wow it really must have been amazing! I heard lots about it :)
I've even been sent some recordings of it, apparently people asked and got permission to record. So it's neat to be able to hear some of what was said even though I wasn't able to be there. I'm slowly working my way through them.
I love President Webb, no matter how hard he tries not to say fantastic...it just slips out :)
