Stake Conference

Today we had stake conference. But it wasn't a normal stake conference. It was held at the marriott center at BYU and it included all of the stakes from Pleasant Grove down to Elk Ridge. They had 2 sessions and our ward went to the second one.
Adam and I (okay, so mostly me) thought that we could just go to a broadcast session at our stake building, but this morning we found out that none of the provo buildings were doing that. SO we left our house about 10 minutes till 1:00 (oops) and we drove to byu campus and it turned out that everyone else was there, too. We drove around looking for parking for a while, finally finding a spot by the wilk. So then we hurried and tryed to get over to the marriott center, but we were puzzled as to why huge groups of people were walking in the opposite direction of us. So we asked them and they said there was no more room in the marriott center and that overflow was at the HFAC and the wilk - right by where our car is, darn it. :) So we walked back to the wilk and we were only about 20 minutes late...
President Samuelson was speaking when we got there, then Elder Wirthlin and President Monson spoke. President Monson was actually really funny - he seemed to be cracking jokes through his whole talk. All in all a great meeting. They spoke about following the spirit, doing your best in your callings and working through adversity.
I'm glad we got to go, even though it was a struggle to get there!

That is almost like crossing the plains. At least you found the "right place".
