*Today is General Conference Sunday!!! We heard some mighty messages this weekend. Some themes I heard repeated were: missionary work is an essential part of gathering Israel, stay on the covenant path, King Benjamin's sermon has a lot to learn from, and the little things matter a lot. Seventeen temples were announced, bringing the total up to 100 that President Nelson has announced since being the President of the Church. (Last time they announced a temple in Cape Town and in Belgium!) The work is moving forward. We are not just invited to participate but essential to the progress.
*Today for conference my children did an amazing job for most of the sessions. I knew we'd get here someday! We have been reading about the ten plagues in Egypt, so to have some fun with that, I got candies to represent the plagues to snack on during Conference. (For future reference: red Jell-o for the river of blood, gummy frogs for frogs, chocolate covered peanuts for flies, Snowdrops for lice, burnt peanuts for boils, chocolate animal crackers for diseased livestock, marshmallows and Hot Tamales for hail and fire, green Mike n Ikes for locusts, black licorice for darkness, and Sour Patch Kids for firstborn sons, plus Cheetos for some savory rods of Moses.)
*Today is also the first day of not having any children in single digits, as it is Benson's 10th birthday! Hooray! We love this boy.
