I was greeted in the parking lot by one of my neighbors and ended up sitting at a table with 6 of them. Perfect!
Then the broadcast . . . wonderful. Especially Elder Uchtdorf. I feel like my purpose has been clarified. It felt as if he was speaking just to me, especially when he would look in the camera and speak so emphatically. Almost like when I take Nathan by the face, have him look at me and I enunciate my words and really want him to listen. Kate and Terressa kept great notes and summarized it perfectly on their blogs . . Thanks! . . so I won't duplicate. This will be a talk that I print off and re-read often.I am so excited for conference. I didn't hear one talk from last conference because of moving the same weekend, trying to settle in and Hyrum only being 2 weeks old. I feel like my spirit just really needs a boost from those who have direct communication with our Heavenly Father. I'm so thankful that they have dedicated their lives to spreading His word in my behalf.

I always like to watch/listen to conference, but this time I am more excited to hear the messages that are just for me! because after last night, I'm pretty sure there will be more...I want to hear more of what my Heavenly Father has in store for me and my family!! :)
Way to be brave! I had planned to go with a friend from the ward and that fell through, but Mom and Cami were here so I had someone to go with. You are new to your ward but after three years in my ward I still have to be brave. I think we would both like to have a bit of Kellie's excitement for adventure.
I am so embarrased to say that I missed the broadcast.I am so disappointed. But I am so thankful for the info. you shared. I am really excited for conference! Thank you for your great example!
I decided at the last minute to go, so I walked in as the opening song was being sung. I didn't recognize anyone, so sat by strangers. It was kind of nice because I wasn't tempted to talk and just really listened.
It happened to be that only 4 people from our ward showed up. I met a new sister who happens to be an Occupational Therapist and she was able to give me a lot of good tips to help Korben. I think I was blessed to not have my friends there so that I could meet her.
I usually go with my mother in law but this would have been a bit awkward and her ward is in the new stake. It was nice to go with Mom and Kara. I loved Elder Uchtdorf's talk. Sometimes I wish I had that talent or the other talent and I guess he just gave me permission to create within my own talents and to appreciate what I have. It was a really good meeting.
I also like going with Mom and Kara since I have been in the Young Women's for so long that it's weird sitting with anyone other than my mother in law. I envy Kellie and her sense of adventure sometimes.
