This morning we were up with the sun to drive to a special Stake Conference at the stake centre. Elder Ulisses Soares from the Quorum of the Twelve was visiting our Stake and we were going to have the pleasure of hearing from him today. The older three already got to go to a special youth conference Friday night in Edmonton to listen to him speak and had an amazing experience. Daddy spent the day in a training conference with him yesterday. We were all looking forward to the experience of listening to the words of an apostle. The morning fog was captivating as the sun rose in the sky and it's morning rays kissed the earth.
The littles slept most of the way in, did a quick change in the van into their church clothes, and then we headed in to hopefully secure a seat on the benches or soft chairs. We ended up in the back row of the chapel. The three things that stood out most to me was the importance of reinforcing our spiritual foundation and honoring our covenants, the power of Godliness in our lives, and the importance of keeping the Sabbath day Holy. I'm excited to ponder and study these points more in depth this week.
The rest of our Sunday was slow and relaxing with plenty of time to snuggle on the couch and indulge in good conversation. My favorite kind of afternoon!
