General Conference October 2015


How can I summarize 12 hours of awesome inspiration and encouragment generated from this past LDS General Conference?  

I can't.  

However, Micah said a prayer this morning thanking Heavenly Father for the opportunity to now study each talk one by one.  We do this as part of our daily homeschool routine, and I am grateful that he and the other children are excited to review and act upon what we learned this past weekend.  

This quote stands out, as well as some of the moments pictured below.  I loved hearing Gideon sing along to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, watching my children take notes and whisper "WOW" to each other, and reading texts from Jonas like "I love you Mom" during Elder Holland's talk. 












Food preparation like making S'more monkey bread!  
I also simplified our meals so that I wouldn't be working in the kitchen.





Taking notes (and pictures!)
















We really missed having Jonas with us this past weekend.  As a family, we have always enjoyed and been excited to share General Conference with each other.  His absence was keenly felt.  We are supremely thankful to our extended family for taking care of him in their homes and for offering him the opportunity to spend Conference with them.

Wonderful weekend! Love, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!! general conference, and the family time that we share together. It was fun having Jonas here, along with Blythe, Greg, Asher, Caitlin and her clan, AND Chrissy and her family. It was crowded but loving! Your family does such a great job of honoring the conference time!
