What A Weekend

and a wonderful one at that...

Saturday, April 2nd

We were able to witness Jordan and Tiffany be married.



sorry the picture isn't the best

Oh it was fun to see them both so happy!  We wished we could have spent time at the party after but my family was all heading in different directions with time restraints...

Kirk was on his way to Driggs, Idaho to meet a friend to go skiing at Grand Targee.

Josh, ALi and Miss C were already in Salt Lake City.

Kira, Sergio, Miss H and I were going to try to be in Salt Lake in less than 3 hours.

and Derek...well poor Derek was staying home to watch over everything (the dogs).

We made it to SLC just in time for Sergio to go to the Priesthood Session of Conference.

In the Assembly Hall on "Temple Square" they had the session translated into Spanish and so he went there to hear the speakers.  Josh and his brother in laws were listening in English in another building.

After the Priesthood session Kira and I met up with Sergio to take pictures.

The next morning we woke to....

no surprise...it is always raining or snowing conference weekend.

Kira and Sergio had tickets for the Sunday afternoon session of the LDS General Conference.

Tickets to conference do not cost, but are hard to get.

I was so excited for them! I kept thinking what a wonderful opportunity for Sergio.

Kira said, Well you can read what Kira said about it

I was snuggled in our hotel room with Miss H.

and Josh and Ali came to our hotel to watch Conference on TV with me

so I even got to hang out with Miss C.

Monday morning I had a regular clinic visit.

Good News, I get to cut back a little on the predniSONE.

I can not wait until I no longer have to take these

"Make your face fat, be careful because you never know when you might snap some one's head off"

Pills.

after the appointment...well things got even better...

We went and had lunch with Ro, Karen and the girls

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

Great Weekend...

Soon our oldest clothing ...will be going to the DI. Now, if you've understood ... this alphabetic mess, The chances are quite good ... that you are LDS. By Lawrence Heywood

For those of our friends who are totally confused by all the silly acronyms... We have silly phrases too...like Stake House...and Conference Weekend.

This past weekend Oct. 4th and 5th was the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormons) General Conference it is held in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Though now it is broadcasted to homes, stake houses (no there are not any menus) and now on the internet. This is a time of great excitement, because of the gospel being RESTORED to the earth.

After the death & resurection of Christ, and the death of the 12 apostles, the teachings of Christ became distorted and ushered in "Dark Ages". When Christ was upon the earth he established his church with prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists. We too now have a prophet to lead us and 12 apostles! How wonderful it is to be able to hear their council to us as a world, ALL OF US, as children of our Father in heaven, as those who know that Christ is our Savior and the only way back to the Father.

So, back to Conference Weekend we get to listen to these leaders teach and guide us. http://www.lds.org/conference/languages/0,6353,310-1,00.html

You can listen too, in a bunch of different languages.

I have a testimony, that Thomas S. Monson is The Prophet of God, holding all the keys to this time upon the earth. He is as the Prophets of old, he is here to lead us. He will guide us to prepare for the coming of Christ again to the earth.

What did I learn from conference this weekend...

Be HAPPY! Laugh! Prepare! Be United! There ARE Angels Among Us!

But, the most important thing...my testimony grew...I know that Jesus Christ knows me, he is my Savior, He loves me, and I am blessed beyond words.
