General Conference in Review

We had a great General Conference weekend. On Saturday we drove down to Twin Falls where Brig played two soccer games. The wind was icy cold. Right after the games, we hustled into the car and drove down to SLC. Brigham and Brig were very fortunate and got tickets to attend the priesthood session. They loved being in the presence of all of those apostles and our beloved prophet. After conference they chowed down on some PF Chang. The girls and my little ones all headed out to eat at the Olive Garden. We had a great time catching up and dinner was delightful.

Sunday morning we all watched conference together. Mom and Dad put out an amazing feast to snack on during each session. It was all soooo delish. Brigham left us Sunday afternoon to drive down to Monticello. His sweet Grandad had passed on and I'm sure was enjoying a delightful reunion in Heaven.

The kids enjoyed some tree climbing and scooter action between sessions. Kaleb & Lindsey brought all of the Pfleuger clan over for the morning session and we loved playing with them.

I LOVE, love, LOVE this picture of Kai. Except for the fact that he looks like a little boy instead of a baby. He is growing up too fast. His birthday is tomorrow.

Lindsey is teaching Kai the finer points of scootering.

Anyone up for a game of a Ticket to Ride?

Here are a couple of favorite quotes.

We don't acquire eternal life in a sprint; it's a race of endurance. Pres Uchtdorf

My beloved brothers and sisters, fear not and be of good cheer the future is as bright as your faith. Pres Monson

We must know and realize that, just as Winston Churchill said in a critical hour during World War II, “to every man [and young woman] there comes . . . that special moment when [they are] figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a special thing unique to [them]. . . . What a tragedy if that moment finds [them] unprepared or unqualified for [that] which [could have been their] finest hour." This is a critical time. You are being tapped on the shoulder. You are preparing now for that work which will be your finest hour. You are preparing for eternity. Jeffrey R. Holland

If our lives and our faith are centered on the Savior, Jesus Christ, nothing can ever go permanently wrong. On the other hand, if our lives are not set on the Savior, no other success can ever be permanently right. Living the gospel does not mean that we will escape adversity, it means that we will be prepared to face and endure adversity more confidently. Rafael E. Pino

Elder Stevenson: "As we touch the temple, the temple will touch us."

What a great conference!!!! Loved it all. I want to be all that my Heavenly Father wants me to be and all that my Savior has sacrificed for me to become. Lets get to work!
