Fall 2011 General Conference

"Now, brothers and sisters, we are anxious to listen to the messages which will be presented to us today and tomorrow. Those who will address us have sought heaven’s help and direction as they have prepared their messages. That we may be filled with the Spirit of the Lord and be uplifted and inspired as we listen and learn is my prayer."-President Thomas S. Monson.

I just love going to conference. Or should I say I love going to the Stake Centre to listen, and watch conference. It's so wonderful to feel of everyones' spirit when we gather. Since conference can now be seen so easily at home on your computer---which I will admit I do on Saturday's.

Last Saturday evening Shannon and I rushed to Winnipeg to attend Women's conference in the evening. We didn't go during the day.... got to clean that dang house sometime....lol What I loved and keep on hearing about in other blogs is Pres. Uchtdorf's talk.....to view it go to www.lds.org and watch...Beautiful, wonderful, inspired.....

Have a nice weekend.

First day of school

This little boy started school last week. He was so excited to be going to grade 1 this year, and having the same teacher he did in kindergarten. Lane loves to learn, he loves his friends and he loves school.

This little man is so sure of himself. He has confidence exuding from ever fiber of his being. To see the things he has accomplished since he started school makes me appreciate our teachers. The years they spend in school receiving an education so that they can do something that they love. You can't say thanks enough.

Good job little man, your on your way.

Temple Trip

I just love going to the Temple. Unfortunally I don't get there as often as I should. Bad me! However this last weekend I had the chance to go with the ward. It was awesome seeing so many faces from Manitoba there. I commented to our Stake Pres that soon we wouldn't have to travel so far and that those who are currently serving in the Temple in Regina would be serving in our Temple in Winnipeg.
What was also so exciting was having parents bring the primary children from our ward to meet with the the Temple Pres and Matron and talk to the kids about the importance of the Temple. They were so cute, sitting on the benches listening and answering questions.
