Nice Conference Weekend

Here Brighton is drawing during Conference. This lasted for a little while, but then he had to find something else to keep him busy. Kuei and I listened to the talks as much as we could when Keane wasn’t needing to be changed or fed, but we brought him into the living room and let him listen to some of the music from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Saturday, I jumped on the train and went to the Priesthood meeting in the newly rededicated Tabernacle building. I agree with the Prophet’s comment that the benches are just as hard as the old ones were. But the talks were really great and it was nice to sing and be part of that great assembly of brethren there. I also heard a great adaptation of one of my favorite hymns at the close of the meeting and the arrangment was awesome.

Sunday, Brighton and I took a walk on Temple Square after the final session, to stretch the legs a bit, and that was nice.

At the moment, some notable talks that I remember enjoying, were given by: President Hinckley (Priesthood Meeting) and Elder Hales (Priesthood Meeting), Elder Eyring, Elder Packer, President Faust, Elder Coleman, and Elder Kikuchi.

Here’s the Deseret News’ coverage of the Conference here and here and here.

    I should have met you over there. I wasn’t sure where to go and ended up just going to the nearest stake center I could find… but it probably was still further than the actual conference center. :)
