General Conference

I LOVED GENERAL CONFERENCE!  What a spiritual feast it was!Maybe because I didn't have many distractions, but I felt the Spirit so strongly.  It was all so wonderful!  How blessed we are to be able to be counseled and instructed by prophets, apostles, and other chosen leaders!  I look forward to listening again and again and reading the talks in the Ensign. 

And the music was awesome!

As I'm listening to the music from General Conference here at the mission office this morning and heard "Does the Journey Seem Long," I was reminded that shortly after Randy and I were married, I sang with the Utah State University Institute Choir.  That was back when we had conference on Friday as well as Saturday and Sunday.  The prophet at that time was Joseph Fielding Smith.  I don't remember a lot about the whole experience, but our Institute Choir was privileged to sing at a Friday conference.  The only song I remember singing is "Does The Journey Seem Long," which we sang because the words were written by President Smith.  I have always remembered that song, even though it isn't very familiar or sung very often in our meetings - then or now.  It WAS very cool to sit in the choir seats in the awesome tabernacle and sing for a session of conference.
