179th Annual General Conference

Can you believe Rob has never been to Conference in person while living his entire life in Idaho?!! Seems absurd I know. Having grown up in Texas I never had the opportunity for such an experience either. Recently, we both have felt the need to experience and feel the special spirit while being in the presence of our Modern day Prophet and the Twelve Apostles. We got some of the last tickets our ward had left.


The driving conditions couldn't of been any more perfect for this time of year! Although, as soon as we found parking we had to walk 4 blocks in downtown SLC, in the sleet and snow, with a full bladder! We arrived early, so we decided to spend some time at Temple Square.

Rob, Ang, Kristin, and Dan
We not only got to experience conference in person, but we also spent a few hours with my best friend and her family. Kristin's daughter kept calling Rob, "Robin". When referring to us they say Rob n Ang as one word. Bria hears it as Robin, Ang!

18 years and forever to go!


A good friend of mine gave us a great idea for conference weekend. As in Mosiah, They pitched their tents with their doors toward the temple so that they might hear the words of King Benjamin as he instructed them in the doctrine of eternal life. We decided we'd do like those in the days of old and pitch our tent towards the T.V. and listen to the words our Prophet.



Conference Bingo, A wonderful way to get your children quiet and wanting to listen to talks.
