General Conference Weekend
When I was growing up a fun thing that my family did during conference weekend was put together puzzles. I thought it would be a fun thing to continue in my own little family. So Michael and I went to a few different stores to pick out the perfect puzzle for our weekend. We chose a 1,000 piece Beatles puzzle. I think we had a little bit too much confidence in our abilities, because this was all we got done!!
Next time I think we'll go with the 500 piece Mario puzzle! Besides starting a new family tradition, I really enjoyed conference! I felt inspired and uplifted as I listened to the words of instruction, guidance, and comfort spoken by our Apostles and Prophet. I loved when President Monson got up to announce the new temples and started out with a cheerful, "Hello!" I loved the eternal perspective that I was reminded of. I'll have to go back and actually read the talks to remember who said what, but I was very grateful for the whispers from the spirit that confirmed once again that God loves me, He knows me on a very individual and personal level. He knows my challenges and my trials, and He will bless me as I continue to endure and do my very best to live faithfully and keep His commandments and my covenants.

Holy Smokes! That puzzle is all shades of black, white, and gray! It's a very cool photo to be sure, but I think you were indeed a bit over-confident. That's a fun tradition! I hope you continue it.
ReplyDeleteI like the puzzle idea, I might have to borrow it! Sometimes I've tried to have a conference project, like once I crocheted a scarf. But I can't always come up with easy projects that allow to listen well!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read your blog I just like you more and more! You are such an amazing woman. I can only hope to get a daughter in law like you someday. Lucky Gena and Steve!
ReplyDeleteI too loved conference! I also loved when Pres. Monson got up and said, "Hello" and I also loved when he announced all the new temples and then after saying all these elaborate places says, " And Star Valley, Wyoming." It was just soooo cute. He is such a sweetheart. Every time I hear the words of these good men my testimony grows even stronger.
I love that you are starting your own little family traditions. However, I do think that puzzle looked really really hard! Next time I would choose an easier one:)
Take Care!

I just had to tell you that we saw that same awkward family photo you were talking about with the cats. We were dying! People are so weird!
