I love conference weekend. I love to sit and listen to the conference sessions and enjoy the Spirit of the meetings. I had to run and take care of a few things at work during the morning session so I missed a couple of talks but was very excited when it was announced that Elder Halstrom would be speaking. I delayed leaving the house until he spoke and it was worth it. I also caught parts of both Elder Stevenson and Elder Renlunds talks. I am looking forward to reviewing them more fully when the conference proceedings are available on LDS.org. A highlight of the day came in the Priesthood session when President Monson spoke. I was thinking that maybe he would not speak as his health is declining but he stood and spoke and it was awesome. He only spoke for 5 minutes but it was powerful. Looking forward to tomorrow and the messages that will be shared.
The conference center is decorated with wheat grass looking stuff. Well, the podium is decorated with it. It actually looks really cool. I am waiting for someone to fire up a weed whacker and just clean it up a bit or maybe just someone to walk in with some scissors, cut down some grass and make a smoothie. Well, the long grass inspired me to fire up the lawnmower after conference and give the lawn a mow. It was great, therapeutic, one of my favorite things to do. Makes my day when I can work a bit in the yard.
Well, must rest. Conference starts in 10 hours.
