Conference Weekend

    Hey everyone. I had a great weekend, my family watched conference, and I thought that it was amazing; I especially liked hearing from the prophet (president Monson). But before that my mom and dad ran the St George marathon, and it rained the whole time. I did not run because my family has a rule that you can only run one mile for every mile that you are old, so I have a little while before that can happen, so I helped with the marathon instead of running in it. So I helped from five to ten o-clock pm on Friday, and four to six am on Saturday.

    The marathon time at our house in like the busiest time of our year next to Christmas and Halloween, Everyone comes down and things tend to get done faster during this time. And it is way fun to watch conference with the whole family and then talk about what we thought and what talks we liked.

    As I watched conference, there were several talks that hit me. I thought that the whole Saturday morning session was a "come to Jesus meeting" and your slacking pick it up. I thought that the points of white shirts and cell phones really hit home to me, because I have wanted to wear different colors of shirts at times, but I always find that I'm wearing a white one. And the cell phones during sacrament, was like a duhhh wakeup call, like you say you will remember me but you are texting while you are making the promise , kind of a oxymoron.

    Anyway I got a lot out of it; it renewed my testimony of the prophet Joseph smith and the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
