Fantastic Fireside

This week was our ward conference. We had a leadership meeting on Thursday with the Stake leaders, a temple session Saturday morning (I went by myself while Mark went to a Nicholas reunion), Church meetings today (which the stake YW taught our lessons) and a fireside tonight.
The fireside was sparce in numbers but very worthwhile. Brother and Sister Reese (which he happens to be Tawnya's very favorite seminary teacher ever!) were the speakers. They were wonderful speakers. Very dynamic. She spoke about Unity in the family and wards. They've raised 9 children (I'd say they have some experience in that area!). He talked about a study done at BYU. There are 4 things we can do that will not only bless our immediate families but also our grandchilren.
1. - Pray together
2. - Study together
3. - Fast for a common purpose together
4. -This is a biggie - ATTEND CHURCH WHEN YOU'RE ON VACATION! (Hard to do when you're traveling sometimes - so we'll try to do better!)

Melissa (our niece) played a piano solo - "Onward Christian Soldiers" that was gorgeous. She's an awesome pianist.

Anne and Roy skyped me this morning! It's always so fun to talk to them and hear about what they're doing and what's happening on their mission. Read their blog to see some great pictures!
