We had the pleasure of watching general conference this weekend. The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints holds conference twice a year. Once in the Spring and than again in the Fall. General Conference is transmitted from the conference center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Talks are given by the general authorities of the church that give its members guidance.
I was very blessed after being baptized to be able to go to Salt Lake City and attend conference in person. The experience was fa-nominal. I would encourage everyone to attend in person, at least once if possible. Anyway back to this years conference. As I mentioned conference is transmitted, and can be watched on BYU-TV (if you have satellite t.v) or in our case we watched it on-line at LDS.org. We have a HDMI hook up from our t.v to the P.C so its pretty much like watching a regular t.v show. Saturday did present a little challenge but we were able to watch 2 out of the 4 hours in between the birthday parties.
I love general conference as I find it is so uplifting. I always hear something that resonates with whatever is going on in my life at the time. The feeling it brings into our home..can only be described as sweet bliss.This year was also one of the first years Cordelia has really paid attention to what was going on. It was so sweet seeing her face light up as she saw President Monson come onto the screen.

Love your traditions! It's a lot of the fun of General Conference weekend for sure. I remember in college at BYU we girls would always have a bakeoff to make sure we were sugared up so that we were bright and alert throughout the day. It's a wonderful day, so spiritual, thank you for sharing.
