- Watching all four sessions with my mom from the comfy confines of my living room. I love technology!
- Getting a Priesthood Session debrief from both Barry & Tyler (who will be guest blogging again soon -- watch for it!) So grateful that Boni & Jeni married such fantastic men.
- Elder Perry's talk about living a more simplified life was just perfect.
- Eating this for breakfast yesterday! Yum! Thanks, Mom!
- That incredible Primary choir -- I cried during every one of their songs. I loved feeling the power of their testimonies as they sang. Almost as much as I loved watching the one boy correct the other boy for not standing the right way during their last song. Ha!
- I didn't take notes yet but I loved the talk by the Sunday School presidency guy who talked about knowing the people you teach by name. That has been a priority for our Primary presidency and something I've always strived to do in all of my callings. A little validation now and again is a good thing!
- Having my 77 year old neighbor over to watch the Sunday afternoon session was a treat. She knows lots of fun MoTab facts and pointed out at least 7 times that one of the men looks (to her) exactly like Niles Crane from Frasier.
- Elder Oaks' talk about reverence -- it gave me SO much to think about. I've never really thought about how I should be going into Sacrament meeting and sitting down and just pondering or preparing to partake of the Sacrament itself. Something I'm going to work on!
- Sister Dalton's talk was one I can't wait to listen to again. I loved the pictures of her and her counselors and the little hike they took into the mountains for their first presidency meeting.
- I loved being reminded of things that I know are true and feeling the love of my Heavenly Father.

I also cried when the Primary kids sang!! They brought such a strong spirit! And I never thought about the sacrament thing either. I just loved all of it! Who'da thought that I would actually LIKE listening to conference??
I laughed at that little kid who corrected the other one too. So funny! Sister Dalton's talk was my favorite of the ones I heard (we had a fussy baby during most of it). Can't wait to come up and visit!
I can't wait to catch up on Conference...we missed a lot from our weekend vacation and I missed it tons. I LOVE conference. I liked your recaps. I can't wait to review EVERY talk again and study the Ensign like my scriptures!!
Ah, the Primary choir. I thought -- no wonder the Bishopric used to come in to "feel good"...it's heaven on earth (most the time! haha). I thought of you lucky people that get to work in there with those sweet kids. Glad you had fun with Jean. I'm sure she loved being in your comfy home!
Great wrap up! I noticed the little boy "helping" his friend in the Primary choir, too. Conference was JUST what I needed!
