General Conference

We all love and look forward to the traditions that we enjoy twice a year as conference comes around again!

Puzzles, note-taking doodles, treats and the conference store.  I always let the kids pick out the words to listen for, and I think the "pandemic" and "COVID-19" treats got eaten first!

In what might be the first Jason-ism posted on the blog, during one session he read off all of the words- "Scriptures... temple... covenants... family... pandemic... missionary... prophet... Jesus Christ... that's going to get eaten fast." And then we paused a second and then laughed and laughed at what a difference the punctuation made in that sentence!

The best part of conference is probably all of it, but this time around we espeically enjoyed the girls and boys time during the womens session.  We all started out together in the backyard, working on the treehouse and roasting hot dogs and listening to the talks around the fire. 

And after a bit the girls headed inside for a spa night while we pampered our faces, hands and feet.  We talked about the importance of using our mouths to speak good words and our hands and feet to serve others.

And outside Jason used the four pillars of the treehouse to teach the boys about the four pillars of the of the priesthood duties, which we coupled with the steps of the covenant path on the ladder a few days later. 

Now every time they climb the ladder they can remember the steps of the covenant path that will lead them back to Heavenly Father.

Now that Noah is seven years old he is officially preparing for baptism!

Asking Adam what "endure to the end meant", his response was... "You die".

It was a great weekend and is always over much too quickly! Now to revisit and apply the lessons we learned to our everyday lives!
