Conference Weekend

We had a great treat to be able to travel to Salt lake City for conference. We had tickets for the priesthood session as well as the Sunday morning Session. For any of you who haven't yet had the experience, please make it a goal to attend in the Conference Center. The most amazing feeling comes over the Center as presidents Monson, Eyring and Uchdorf enter. It reminds me a bot of the 'wave' as the people nearest where they enter rises first, but oh so quickly a hush falls over the entire hall and everyone comes to their feet. Not a word is said, and everyone remains standing until the President sits. The respect, reverance and testimonies are felt so strongly.

We did spend Saturday with Aunt Valerie and uncle Richard in their home in Kaysville, and their oldest son's family came by along with Rachel Packard who was in town for her Missionary reunion. That was a lot of fun. Rick's wife Laura, said she'd really like to have a chance to get together with our kids and get to know the cousins, anyone feel like organizing a Jorgenson cousin reunion??

I was so touched with the Solemn Assembly we were all able to participate it, I was given such a strong witness of the truthfulness of this Gospel and the assurance that Thomas S Monson is truly the prophet of God. We are so blessed.

Ooo, a Jorgenson cousin reunion sounds like fun. We'd need LOTS of time to plan, though.

Sounds like a fun trip!
