Easter Sunday, A Celebration



This Sunday morning found me in Salt Lake City, Utah at the General Conference morning session as well as The Spoken Word. Both were very outstanding and I cheered in my heart all through this incredible experience.

The ride up to the center was great, hardly any traffic. My grandson K3 drove and is a very good driver, by the way. He has been taught well, and proceeded with caution the whole time. He reminded me of his dad, Hank and is driver like his dad. :) Good to go, K3!

K4, and K5 also went with us. We had a great time, amazing front row seats. I was able to get our tickets through the ward. The Choir was wonderful. They were rehearsing for the broadcast and sang the Hallelujah chorus hymn a couple of times. It made the whole Sunday experience extra special being Easter and all with Conference.


I felt and thought the talks were very timely and correlated for the message of the Savior and his resurrection. I know that He lives and gave his ultimate sacrifice for each of us. I am grateful for his atonement and the healing power of it in my life each day.

After the morning session we went to Lori's parents, Lynn and Linda's for lunch, p.m. conference and were joined by Hank, Lori and the Ks for both conference and dinner. K1 also came for dinner. We had a great afternoon and dinner besides.

I was so blessed to be there with then and having been to conference with my grandchildren. They had never been before to the conference center. We enjoyed a close parking space at the Church History Library. We walked across the street from the Conference center and we at the parking lot to get in the car. It was the smoothest and quickest I had ever been to attend anything like it.

One of the lady ushers came over to talk to us before the session and admired us for coming. She came back over and asked if we had camera with us. K3 had his phone, so she took the pic of us. I will post it when he sends it via email later.
