Conference Roundup

We had General Conference this past weekend. There were some major changes announced, which I think may be the new normal. As always, there were certain talks that stood out to me. They were from:

The kids and I all enjoyed Elder Bednar's talk. The kids especially liked the graphics that were shown while he spoke.

I was happy to see how excited the kids were in the days leading up to Conference. The Conference notebooks that I put together a few years ago really make the weekend flow smoothly. And having all seven of us watching and listening to the speakers made my heart happy.

During one of the talks on Sunday we were admonished to be peacemakers. Sophie gasped, turned to look at me and said, "Cooper's name means peacemaker!"

"Barrel maker, " I replied. "His name means barrel maker."

She wasn't quite as excited about that.

I enjoyed conference too! I especially liked Elder Uchtdorf, Elder Holland, and Sister Franco's talks. Tonight for FHE we will take turns sharing 3 things that stood out to each of us.

I agree about Elder Renlund's talks! They are always so good! And some of your favorites are also my favorites.

You probably posted about Conference notebooks already but I would love to know what you put in them. Pictures of the apostles? (I think I see that in Sophie's lap!) Bingo? (I see that in a picture of Phoebe!) A place for notes or something? I like that you put it all in a binder! Sounds like you reuse them since they stay organized and I love that idea.

I love the quote from Sophie!

I just wrote a huge blog post on my conference thoughts. I will never be a consistent blogger because I can't keep things short! Ha.
