"Come Listen to a Prophets Voice"

This weekend was General Conference for us Mormon's.
That is when our dear Prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and his Apostles and other leaders, speak to us. 
It is fantastic now because you can watch it on TV or the internet, but when we were little children you had to go to the church to watch. To help our children feel the spirit of it all, we choose one session on Sunday to go to the church and watch, just like when we were children. We get all dressed up and bring popcorn for them to eat. We've been doing this since they were babies and it's a tradition I hope we never lose. 
Here we are gussied up for church:

My favorite talk: Elain S. Dalton's about parenthood & raising lovely daughters. You can read or listen here
My favorite hymn sung by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: I Believe In Christ
