My very favorite semi-annual event is this weekend. General Conference. I can hardly wait. A professor I had one year at BYU challenged our class to have 4 things that we had questions about and were seeking answers to, and promised that we would hear the answers in General Conference. And of course I did, so I have made it a habit to mentally, if not physically write down what I need direction on so I can listen for and recognize inspiration as it comes. It is a blessing to hear the Lord's Prophet and Apostles speak. In this day and age there are so many ways to particitpate. Internet, radio, TV as well as the written word in a matter of days. I think of the people in ancient times who traveled many miles and pitched their tents to hear a prophet speak. I imagine the enthusiasm and committment they had in their desire to know God's will through His chosen prophet. Our prophet today President Thomas S. Monson is the prophet chosen for our day. So this weekend we will be "pitching our tents" towards our television and hear God's servents deliver to us the messages He would have us hear. Isn't that amazing?
Chandler has requested a breakfast casserole on Sunday morning (because he can't stop thinking about it?? I only hope I can stand to make it!)
And because children get squirmy and have a tendency to lose focus here is something that you might want to print off for your young ones.
Brian's aunt posted some on our family website that I can't link, but if you'd like them email me and I'll send them to you.
Have a spiritual weekend!

Thanks for the GREAT IDEA dear friend. I have so many questions it will be hard to pick just 4!
I'm so glad I read this before tomorrow. I'd never heard the 4 things before and can't wait to do it. Today was fabulous, so many wonderful talks. (Bill and I also had fun playing "Guess That Accent.")
I have never heard of doing that, why didn't I read this before! :) Your fantastic!
That was an amazing weekend. The learning still continues from it. I think that is a great idea that you shared.
How are you feeling? Let me know if you could ever use Mattie's help okay. Or mine too.
