Today we were up bright and early to catch the train to temple square! We watched the first session of General Conference in the Joseph Smith Memorial theater. There were so many great messages and my heart was touched so many times by stories and quotes from our church leaders. I received many quiet answers to prayers or problems and came away feeling so uplifted!
We crossed the street to the mall in between sessions for a quick bite to eat. The girl and I hit up a Chinese food place and Mr. Stannix grabbed a giant slice of pizza. The lines got crazy and it was hard to find a table. We ate quick and headed back to the conference session with tickets in hand. It was so special to go in with our girl!
We sat closer than I ever have before, and enjoyed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the messages that were shared. Camilla was such a trooper and even took a whole page of notes without prompting. I love this girl and her enthusiasm for the Gospel and learning.
Mike was able to score a ticket for Priesthood session and sat 15 rows from the front! He just about shook president Uchtdorf's hand! He said the session was great! While Mike was at the priesthood session, the girl and I hit up ladies
night at Desseret Book. It was crazy town in there! The six sisters were
there signing books, two artists were there signing pictures, and a
vocal group was there providing live entertainment. There were give
aways and crazy lines!! I was glad we had purchased most of our things
the day before.
We met up with Daddy outside the bookstore. It was hard to pick him out of the 100 men wearing suits and crossing the road. We held hands and walked around temple square before heading to dinner. We arrived at our hotel just in time to take one last dip in the pool before it closed. Camilla fell asleep pretty quick while Daddy and I read our books.
