i heart mormons

Thanks to Hilda, I had the opportunity of attending the Sunday morning session of general conference last weekend. In my opinion, this session was the best one to go to. Before conference started, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed in Music and the Spoken Word, which was fantastic. Those who know me are aware that besides Christmas tunes and a few other select songs, I’m not generally a fan of choral music. However, this seemed different and has caused me to rethink my opinion on the subject. Conference itself was excellent and it was nice to be there in person when President Hinckley spoke. How lucky are we to have such an incredible person leading us?

Saddened to find ourselves camera-less at the Relief Society session, this time we came prepared. Seeing as how we do not possess any qualities commonly seen in the chosen conference Ensign photographs, it was necessary to document the morning ourselves. This is what we concluded—in order to get a photo in the Ensign, you must have one of the following attributes: be foreign or at least foreign looking, gently cradling a baby, appropriately snuggling/holding hands with a member of the opposite sex, a member of five generations of women or men (all present of course), pondering the scriptures whilst writing in your journal, etc. The list goes on and on. Yet, even with this knowledge, Kathleen and I have thus far been unsuccessful in making the conference issue. Maybe someday. Until then, these’ll have to do.
