General Conference Weekend

We enjoyed a wonderful Conference weekend with family (Oct. 5th & 6th). Dad arrived in Utah on Wed.(Oct. 2nd) to do some Reliv appointments on Wed. and Thurs. I flew in on Thursday so I could work in the temple on my Wed mid-day shift. Danielle picked me up at the airport and we stopped at the Johns to see the children and enjoy a quick lunch. I had a fun visit with Danielle as we drove on to Orem. She prepared Dad and I a delicious dinner that evening with her fine china, and it was fun to see their nice apartment. Dad went to a class with Crismon that afternoon. We attended a special Reliv event in Orem that evening.

Crismon & Danielle have a fun "Chinese & Japanese" study with interesting things they collected while Danielle served her mission in Japan, and Crismon was in China for a semester abroad.

The Johns always have delicious homemade wheat bread. Yum! We get the royal treatment every time. They are so generous.

Friday we drove to Logan with Alice-Anne and children for Dad and I to have lunch at Grandma Julia's with my sister, Meredith and Roger & Andrea. It was so much fun to be with my family. Alice-Anne visited with her Johns family in Logan. Thanks to my family for taking time to be with us and providing us with a delicious and entertaining meal.

We had such a big surprise Saturday morning. We heard knocking at the front door during the middle of the opening prayer. Alice-Anne was shocked to see Meredith, Bryan and family there. They drove through the night to come spend the weekend with family.

It was fun to see the shocked looks of the other family members when Meredith came to the afternoon session with us.

Sunday morning Kenna came to conference for her first time. She was good being there for the Music and the Spoken Word and the morning session.

After the Sunday morning session, Dad set Dalton Boyles apart as a missionary in a small room in the Visitors Center. He is going to the SLC Mission, so it was kind of unusual for him to be set apart in his mission. They ran into his Mission Pres., too, so that was really neat he got to meet him.
