We really spent the whole weekend listening to General Conference. The kids obviously had a hard time sitting through a lot of it, but were good to listen to it on the radio while they played. They made sure to watch President Monson speak to us and were so cute to sit by us on the couch. On Sunday afternoon we went over to Ashley's house for the last session. McQueen was in heaven and didn't mind listening to conference one bit as he played with some original Star Wars toys that she has. Tinkerbell really enjoyed coloring and by the time conference was over, all four of us were down on the ground coloring pictures for each other. As with any conference, this one contained so many great and important messages. I felt like I had learned so much and been reminded of so much. I am constantly amazed at how "in touch" these elderly men are with what is going on in the world today. Their messages truly are for our time and circumstances. I didn't catch everything, so it is great that I can download them and listen to them again and again. I definitely come from the school of hard knocks. My condition worsens even more in this area, when I am trying to help the kids. Now I just have to follow what they say and work on being a little bit better each day.
