Happy Easter! And, Happy Conference!
We’re looking forward to participating in the solemn assembly this morning – as part of the first session of General Conference. How historic and exciting to officially sustain a new prophet as well as two new apostles. It’s great that even though we don’t have a TV here, we can stream it live at home.
Bob and I have tickets for this afternoon’s session, so we’ll be in the conference center for that one. Since tomorrow is Easter, we’ll try to get seating in one of the overflow venues, for the morning session, then catch the afternoon session at home.
As part of preparing for this special General Conference, I enjoyed reviewing the talk Elder Anderson gave last October. Here are a couple of quotes from it:
The Voice of the Lord
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
October 2017
“There is a treasure chest of heavenly direction awaiting your discovery in the messages of general conference. The test for each of us is how we respond to what we hear, what we read, and what we feel. . .
“I promise that as you hear the voice of the Lord to you in the teachings of this general conference, and then act on those promptings, you will feel heaven’s hand upon you, and your life and the lives of those around you will be blessed.”
What sweet promises!
This week has been a bit hectic and I'm happy we get to relax some between conference sessions this weekend.
On another topic, we've enjoyed discovering this new feature (below) on familysearch.org. If you have a Family Search account, and it has photos of ancestors – you can upload a photo of yourself and it uses facial recognition software to show you which relatives you most resemble. It’s kind of fun.

I read Elder Andersen's talk Friday! Twinsies! Conference was wonderful! I just got back from visiting Ted and Brian and their families. SO much fun! Hope Bob's cataract surgery went well. Good for you, actually losing some weight. I know what you mean. Every pound lost represents weeks of will power or activity. I haven't had a chance to see the Messiah yet. What a treat for you to be able to see and hear it in person. I heard it was fabulous. Hope you have a great week Betty!
