6 October 2018 - Saturday

Mom and I enjoyed a wonderful day of another historic General Conference.  The talks were so inspiring and as we continue accelerating the preparations for the Second Coming.  I love the fact that we are moving toward home based and church supported teaching.  We will all benefit from this prophetic direction!  I am anxious to re-read every talk and to review all of President Nelson's conference talks from April 1984, through this conference, to see how he had been prepared to lead us today!  Has anyone done that yet?

Here we are in the Chapel at 9:30am this morning, ready and anxious!

Before we left for the Homestead, mom and I ended our fast to be in tune with the messages.  We took a walk out to the highway as a way to be awake and alert and attentive for the messages.  It was our privilege to end our fast with our favorite breakfast as well!  Look what we saw on our morning walk at 7:00am this morning;

Thick frost covering the area at Missionary Village

We used caution in walking across the cattle guards this morning!

The next four days has snow in the forecast and next Saturday and Sunday will be cold.  However, on Monday the 15th and Tuesday the 16th, the forecast is for sun, and a very pleasant ride home!  We are looking forward to helping this work move forward in our family, and our ward!

In between the second session of conference and the Women's session, we helped with a mission dinner.  The menu was a potato bar, and mom introduced her salad as a base for the potato bar.  Not everyone tried the salad.  They wanted the potatoes and beans and condiments.  That left the best part for us!  This was a wonderful day of conference.  Mom and I were especially grateful to finally get in an area where our text messages could be received and shared about conference!  We love you!
