General Conference Weekend!!

Another crazy week for me, so I'm late blogging about the past weekend!
Conference was great and dramatically changed my life for the better. I had a change of heart, revisited priorities, and am back on track! 


But General Conference was such a different experience at school than home. For the Saturday morning session, a group of 6 girls from our floor came in the basement and were joined by 3 other girls from Chipman. The best part of the morning session was when President Monson's talk. When he announced the *second* Provo Temple, there wasn't a dry eye in the room.  The Spirit was so strong in the dingy basement room and it definitely strengthen my testimony of temples.


For the afternoon session, we watched in the lobby. We were forced to pay real close attention because the vending machines were soooo loud! I turned into a really good lip reader!

After the priesthood session, our group of 6 girls (Katie, Emily, Whitney, Shelby, Lydia and I) got a group of boys together and went in the Tanner Building (a huge 7 floor building near the dorms). Emily rented the movie R.E.D. and we messed around in the one of the classrooms watching that. We started Forever Strong but got kicked out at 11:45. But, being college and all, instead of going back to the dorms to sleep, a plan was formed to play a game of rugby....IN THE SPRINKLERS. Which turned into just messing around in the sprinklers and getting soaking wet at midnight!...which turned into missionary tag on the muddy slippery grass! Best. idea. ever!! Instead of directly linking arms, you would practically run into them and hope to grab their arm or hand to avoid slipping! We finally ended around 1:30 AM when Jonathan had fallen one too many times. It was seriously one of the best nights yet!!

We watched the Sunday morning session in the basement with our "new" group of friends. After, we had lunch all together in the Cannon. I left midway and watched the last session with Kevin and Julia! It was a lot of fun and odd to be around little kids again. But I was nice to be off campus and having a home cooked meal!?

When I got back, I went over to the boy's dorm for visiting hours where we watched the Best Two Years in their basement- which was fun as well as a "spiritual end" to the conference weekend!!!
