I love General Conference Sunday. Two times a year we get to snuggle up in our jammies and listen to the General Authorities of the Church give council. A yummy big breakfast, baking cookies in between, and lounging all day without worries are just a few of my favorite things on this day. I love listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and I LOVE that Elder Eyring is the new 2nd councelor. I have fond memories of him at Ricks College, he is such a great speaker. Also, when I see him I think of my friend Lindi. She adores him. For Christmas one year at Ricks, we bought her a book by Elder Eyring, tracked him down all over campus and had him sign it for her. I will never forget the look on her face when she opened that gift...priceless.
I feel so blessed to have a Prophet and other leaders today who give us guidance and words of wisdom to get us through the craziness of the world.
What a great day!

kelly i was thinking of the same exact story today about lindi. that christmas was so awesome. and church in jammies...can't beat that one!
church in jammies is the best. and it seems to suit the one year-olds better than hard church seats.
Loved conference. better yet...can't wait to read it. I am sure I will get more out of it the second time around.
it's always great to hear what the leaders of our church have to say. when they say jump, I say how high, then I try my hardest to get there.
Jammies, a nice hot breakfast, cookies, AWESOME talks....what a day! I'm glad we all do the same thing!
I LOVE Elder Eyring too! I had one of his quotes taped on my dresser where I'd see it every day in highschool.
I also can't wait to re-read everything in the Ensign...so much good stuff. I loved Elder Oaks talk too!
I will never forget the look on Lindi's face when she opened that book either... great conference
I remember trying to hunt down Elder Eyring to get his signature. Is the story that someone ran into him at the bookstore? Someone remind me. I remember seeing him later walking down the sidewalk. . .
