We were once again able to get tickets for Conference because we are missionaries, so we attended Saturday afternoon session. So many great speakers. I felt at that point that the theme of this Conference was in sustaining and honoring the prophet.
There was the change in the organization of the Melchizedek quorums into one during Priesthood session and eliminating Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching during this Sunday morning’s session. And then finally the announcement of 11 new temples, including one in India, one in Russia, and one in Richmond, Virginia, which will be Brittany’s temple.
This was a notable General Conference because there was a solemn assembly in the Saturday morning session when we were able to sustain President Nelson as the prophet of the Church. We each had the opportunity to stand when our section was called for and to sustain him. It was so moving.
Afterwards, we traveled down to Provo where Rob joined Bryan for dinner and then Priesthood meeting with Clay, and Heather and I went out to eat, ran on errands, and then looked at a number of homes that she likes. She would so love to buy a home again, but she just feels impressed that she shouldn't do that yet.
We learned after Rob returned home that the Melchizedek Priesthood quorums were combined. And now everyone attends the Elders Quorum.
After spending the night with Heather, we watched morning session (where they eliminated home teaching and visiting teaching and changed everything into a ministering program), and then ate some marvelous scones with honey butter that she makes every year. Bryan and his family came to join us and watch afternoon session before going to Emily's family Easter dinner. We had barbecue and cheesecake and it was such a nice ending to a wonderful weekend.
I need to add though that Rob fixed the sweetest breakfast. He is absolutely the most amazing man!
