Somehow we got lucky enough to get 4 tickets to the Sunday Morning Session of the October 2015 General Conference. We asked all of the kids who wanted to go. Kylee and Emilee were the only takers! The younger 3 wanted to stay home together and watch it on TV. I wasn't sure about this plan, but it actually turned out OK. The 4 of us had a great experience going, and the younger 3 did a great job being responsible and watching it together while we were gone.
We had the great opportunity to listen as the 3 newest called Apostles, Elder Renlund, Elder Rasband and Elder Stevensen shared their messages and testimonies for the first time. It was great to be there in person. It is also a wonderful experience to be in the Conference Center when the Prophet enters. The spirit that accompanies him in to the room is amazing. We also were there as sweet President Monson struggled to finish his talk. We were on the edge of our seats wondering if he would finish and still stay standing on his own. That was heartbreaking to see. Because we were there we also saw President Uchtdorf and President Nelson who were seated closest to the podium on the edges of their seats, ready to steady President Monson if needed. President Monson is such a great example to all of us. We love him! We are lucky to live close enough to SLC to be able to attend when we do get lucky enough to get tickets. I'm grateful Kylee and Emilee got to experience Conference in person.
