General Conference


General Conference weekend was amazing. I just love listening to all the wonderful talks, after it all I just want to be so much better.
I try to make conference something the kids get really excited for. Last conference Kyle had turned a huge box we had into a tent and he watched conference in his little house. He remembered that from last time and wanted to do it again so we found the biggest boxes we had and the kids decorated them and made conference houses. I told the kids it's just like King Mosiah's people when they pitched their tents with their doors facing the prophet so they could hear his words. I told them they were doing the same thing, the symbolism was really neat and it really helped the kids listen. I think it will have to be a tradition.
Overall just an awesome weekend.
