Lifted by the Good Word of God

After Eileen had an MRI Thursday morning, we headed to Utah for General Conference and time with family.  We were met at Randy's by Jake sitting on the railing.  For the first day we had 25-30 MPH head winds taking a big toll on our gas, then the second day it was about the same except from the side.  We could not complain as we arrived safely and were greeted by Jake, Tyler and Lily all excited to see us.  As you can tell the car was loaded with our things for Arizona and what Amanda could not get Boise in two earlier trips.


Amanda came down from Boise and went on to Provo to pick up Gunnar and bring him up Friday night after the BYU game. 

Saturday we went to General Conference.  Between the afternoon session and Priesthood session, we went to the Crown Burger.  This is a tradition Randy and I started last year as they sever the best burger with pastrami on it.  The restaurant was so packed you would never think you would be able to order let alone get something to eat, but they have such an amazing system in place that within a half hour we were finished with our meal.

Just as we were finishing Gunnar looked at the table across from us and said "That's my Book of Mormon Professor Stanley Johnson".  Randy and Amanda both looked and said he was our Book of Mormon professor too.  We spoke to him briefly - another example of the small world we live in.

We were able to watch all the other session on Randy's 50" TV.  What a blessing to be able to sit at the feet of the Lord's Prophets and Apostles and we taught by the Spirit.  We are uplifted and touched by the outpouring of the Spirit and so blessed to understand even more the great plan of happiness Heavenly Father has prepared for us and the opportunity we have to participate in it and to receive the blessings provided to by our Savior Jesus Christ and His atonement.
