Conference

A few days before conference we got a phone call from Teri, the bishops wife, informing us that Dale got tickets for general conference 1st session and asked us if we wanted to go! Depressed I said... I gotta work. But it all worked out and we were able to make it!

On our way in was crazy! Thousands of people were piling into the center around protesters. They are so silly! Telling us to believe in Jesus Christ and read the bible. We do! Don't they know? We thought we were running late but we were able to make it in out of the rain.



Once seated we were relieved that we made it and anticipated seeing the prophet come out. We were able to use Jonathan's phone to snap a pic of us.



Once the conference began we got to listen to President Monson speak first followed by many of the other leaders including one from relief society. We took notes so we could remember what we listened to later.



When the conference was over going out was a zoo! And when we got outside it was pouring rain. It was quite amazing actually! The protesters were still there, but that's not the amazing part. There were several groups of people under umbrellas singing hymns and magically you couldn't hear the protesters anymore.

It was a great experience we will never forget!
