General Conference

General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was October 5 and 6. Wonderful conference. So much about staying close to the Lord.

We had our traditional Conference Nachos and we had activities for kids. Conference Squares (Bingo). Snuggles. Note taking. Etcetera.

Since Northern Lights were supposed to be happening at some point, we decided to go out looking, just in case (we had some late nights). Friday night a few of us went around West Mountain to look North over the lake. We didn't see any Northern Lights but we saw a barn owl fly right in front of us. I love barn owls.

Saturday night a few of us stopped at Deer Creek Reservoir to look for the lights. We didn't see them then, either, but we were able to do service for some people late that night. These people were going to watch General Conference on Sunday and their vehicle broke down where we were. We were able to give two of them a ride (the exact number of seats we had since Nichole and Jr. stayed home) to a relative's house while the third stayed to work on their vehicle. It does feel good to do service.

Sunday morning the power went out. We got a notification that it would be back on around 11am so Nichole, Jeremy, and I went out for a drive and listened to the first session on the van radio.

We were able to watch the other session with the boys at home.
