Overheard While Watching General Conference



General conference was wonderful (as always!) and really lifted me. Burke had to work out of town at the last minute, so I had some juggling to do with the kids, but I was able to listen to most of it and even got a few notes written down. Preston enjoyed it (especially when he listened well enough to get some jelly beans!) I enjoyed his comments and thought you might get a kick out of them as well:

"Oh, I love this prophet!!"

"I'm tired of this prophet movie . . ."

"Oh these are really good singers!!" (Already a fan of MoTab!)

"There's President Uuk-dork!" (I hope that is not too disrespectful, by the end of conference he was consistently saying his name correctly!)

"Is this Elder Cooker?"

"Oh, he said, scriptures! That means I get a treat!"

"I am such a good listener!"

"The temple is not a house--it's a temple you silly goose!" (Spoken to Elder Bednar)

"He said, temples! That means I get a treat!!"

While looking at the pictures of the Prophets and Apostles "there's Elder Packer, Elder Blueberry . . . "(Perry)

It really was a joy to be able to hear our prophet and leaders give inspired counsel and speak messages of hope. I love the Spirit that is in my home at General Conference time :)

that is too cute - I was giggling out loud! It's so nice when they actually pay attention - I always sonder just how much they actually pick up.
