Two in a month - Oh, my!

So, hello family! We had a special stake conference yesterday - our regular one was just a couple of weeks ago. Aaron had a fireside with Elder Bednar and Caity had one with Elder Rosband of the Seventy Saturday night. Both were excellent, according to our listeners. Dad and I drove someone elses van to the youth fireside with 10 lively Beehive girls. I warned Dad about the possible noise overload, but the van seemed to absorb a lot of the noise. We dropped them off and went out to eat - Chinese, of course.


Sunday, I went early with Sheri to get a seat, and though we were an hour early, the Chapel was full. I headed to the Relief Society room for softer seats! We had Elder Rosband - Bednar went to West Stake. He said that the reason they were there was because the Twelve had done a study and figured out that if one of the apostles were to visit a stake every week, it would take 26 years to visit them all. So they came up with the plan to hold regional meetings with the Stake presidents and bishops. I believe there were 16 stakes in Saturdays training meetings. This way, the twelve can visit/train with every stake presidency in four years. Quite a difference!

Elder Rosband mainly talked about the importance of families. It got me thinking about what great kids and daughter in laws we have. (grandbabies, too) I LOVE YOU!

Our meeting started at 9:00 instead of our usual ward time of 1:00. Left us a whole day open. That was different. I ended up taking a long nap. Felt GREAT! Lazy, but great.

Have a great week!
