I love General Conference. It was so great this year and Monte was with us which made it even better! As I looked around the room at my family watching Conference I realized how amazing and unique each individual member of my family is. Monte and Weston were drawing, Abbie was knitting, and Logan was creating some bionicle creature, I was just sitting and enjoying every minute of Conference. We were all doing our own thing yet we were brought together by the Gospel. That's how life constantly works for us. We are so busy with piano, swim team, Young Women's, Scouts, and school that sometimes we don't connect much during the day. The gospel is the thing that keeps bringing us back together. Family prayer and scripture study at night, church on Sunday, and FHE on Monday. How grateful I am for the gospel and the time it gives me with my family. The Gospel is what centers our family and brings us back together at the close of the day.
On a lighter note I had to share Monte and Weston's drawings:
Weston asked Monte to draw a picture of him. Monte doesn't draw stick figures he draws the real deal. Sorry it scanned in so light, but you can kind of get the idea. Weston drew President Monson sitting down listening to the speakers.
