Conference Weekend

I love Conference weekend. I have been lucky enough to have a job for the past 6 1/2years where I get to work downtown at the Church Office Bldg. and Conference Center feeding all of the behind the scenes people at Conference. We feed ushers, audio visual personnel, translators, security, police officers, the Tab Choir, and the countless volunteers that make conference what it is. It makes for really long days, usually starting at 5:00 am and ending at 5:00 pm. Trust me, when you've been on your feet cooking and serving for that many hours, you can hardly walk by the time you get home. And yet, it is such a great opportunity to serve the thousands of the behind the scenes people who in turn serve the millions watching conference around the world. I am so grateful for the restored gospel and for my testimony of a loving Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the messages of hope that were given this weekend. Faith and Hope are what we need in this world today when there are so many doubts and uncertainties. I am so grateful that while there is hope, there is no need to fear. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
P.S. We had our first showing of our house yesterday. Even with the economic turbulence of the past few weeks, there is still interest which gives us hope. Miracles truly do happen! We'll keep you posted.
