General Conference

We love general conference!! It's apparently become a tradition to go to the BYU Law General Conference Reception in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building between sessions on Saturdays. I think I've made it to the last 6 receptions or so. Free food and networking, right?
Selfie attempt to take a picture of the four of us. I wish you could see Matt's name tag, because it mentions our "company": Legally Insane, LLC.
Thank you, kind stranger, for taking this picture, since the selfie angle wasn't working out
Matt called me on the way home from priesthood and asked me to pull up the last two minutes of the session online. Turns out, they made it on TV! 

My family always had doughnuts for breakfast during general conference, so I've decided to carry on the tradition with Matt and I...except with Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I would highly recommend the pumpkin spice cake and cream cheese pumpkin doughnuts. Sadly, they were devoured before I remembered to take a picture. *I blame the baby.*

Sunday between sessions we drove to the Provo temple and walked around. As we were coming back to the car, we noticed a horde of missionaries crouching around Matt's car, taking pictures. There were only three possible explanations: the NC license plate, the BYU-I Alum license frame, or the fact that it looks like the letters on the plate spell "BOM" (Book of Mormon). Turns out it was the first--they are all headed to NC next week to start their missions! Matt and I reminisced about the different places we have been during conference time in the past. As a sampler: Korea, Washington DC, Utah, Dominican Republic.

We are loving the fall weather! The mountains are finally starting to change colors. Here's hoping it lasts through November. 

What are your conference memories?

Rhetorically,
Rebekah

  1. two memories:
    1- not so good - Got in the old Tabernacle in the balcony seats - it was so hot and stuffy that I couldn't stay awake!

    2- In college, I used to stay with my Aunt Louise because she lived in SLC (she was a secretary to several general authorities, including Ezra Taft Benson). Back then conference was THREE days. In my junior year I decided I needed a stronger testimony of the Church so I decided to watch every single session - all 6 of them. Harold B. Lee was the Prophet, and I'll never forget the wonderful feeling that washed over me after Conference was over.
