General Conference

This weekend was both relaxing and uplifting. To have an excuse not to do homework but instead sit in front of the TV is pretty nice. But to also listen to the prophet and apostles was a wonderful experience. I thought that conference, true to form, followed a general pattern of similar talks making it seem like there was a theme. It was being like Christ through loving others as well as being bold in sharing testimony. Britta also noted a similar theme, but her idea of the theme and mine were totally different! I though that was funny. Obviously we were each hearing what is important to us and on what we need to follow through. Listening to conference really brought a feeling of peace into my heart and home.

Rick and Robert are at Bob and Johnnie's house. They will be leaving around mid-night to come home. I miss them and will be glad to have them here, but I also know it's hard for Rick to leave with the idea that he may never see his father again in this life. Although his voice was strong yesterday, his body has lost so much strength and he's having to take quite a bit of pain medication. As a result, Bob slept most of the time today. Any time at all to visit is worth while. While there, Rick and Robert went to the ocean. I'm so jealous!!! I would love to go there during Christmas break and take the boys and just spend time playing. But I also want to go see Skip and Moira and Christy, Wayne and the kids. They are all in different directions!
