Uncle Duane, Aunt Ilene & Angie visit family General Conference Weekend

Marv and I enjoyed General Conference on the BYU station at our temple apartment on Saturday, then after the second session we drove to NP so the 'guys' could attend priesthood session together. Ilene and I walked John's children to the Park where we met Lisa and her children. Just to sit back and relax watching the children enjoy playing in the sand, swing, slide, monkey bars, etc. We walked back to the house while the children hurried to get their baths/showers in time for pizza and rootbeer floats.

Sunday we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with Lisa and Dan...his famous egg omlets...hmmmmmm so good! John's house enjoyed pancakes. After the first session we went on over to John's, enjoying sitting and visiting on their lovely patio. Marrianne and Madison spent the weekend in Sacramento for a school field trip.

Here's a picture of Brooke, Angie, Christian, and Ashlyn having a picnic lunch as they watched 4th session of General Conference.
John did a great job playing host, displaying food very nicely, and especially playing Mr. Mom for the weekend.
Ashlyn loves to dance!

General Conference was great:
You will never be lost when you see the temple.
Reverence invites revelation.
Make and Keep covenants will help us through our trials.
Divine covenants make strong Christians.
Spiritual darkness comes from bad choices.
Gain & strength testimony through desire, study, prayers, obedience & service.
Personal righteousness is a Choice
Doubt, discouragement, distrations, lack of dilegence, disappointment, disobedience disblief...destroys faith.
Living the gospel will not keep adversity from us...must endure.
Identify your ancestors, qualify them, then do the ordinances for them.
Adversary is using every means to take us down.
My favorite was Elder Holland on the atonement.
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED CONFERENCE AS MUCH AS WE DID!
