General Conference Weekend

Three Golden Treasures of the Weekend:

**General Conference is a great opportunity for us to be refreshed, enlightened, and spiritually uplifted. 

I am so grateful for the joy and the knowledge I receive from the gospel of Jesus Christ. All are invited to listen and to learn from these messages. Click HERE to listen/read the messages!

Thanks to our dear friends, we were able to attend one of the sessions live. The power of the music, messages, and the massive physical gathering of people from all over the world, creates an experience unlike anything else. Wow. 

**The Spring. I love the flowers the blossom at this time of year. I just saw these as we were walking to the Conference Center. I'm in love the vibrant colors.

**Time spent w/ Family + Friends. Being home with family just tops it all off. This year, we were lucky enough to have the Saarelainens join us. (talk about a great family--> Alyse, we missed you!) 

One of a trillion darling Sam stories: 

After excitedly greeting everyone, Samo, the oldest, showed us his newly purchased shirt. He held it up to show everyone. Upon the realization that it looked nearly identical to Carson's shirt, there was an episode of much celebration and enthusiasm. Sam started clapping and yelled, "DUDE, WE ARE TWINERS!!!!" There was so much joy and laughter in the room. He then changed into the shirt and insisted on capturing the sweet moment. (what studs.)

What a difference it would make if we all found a little more joy in these small moments of life. How blessed we were to have had the chance to learn from him and his sweet family.

 We sure do love the Saarelainen Family.

P.S. Hannie, this one is for you. 

Sam asked, "When is Hannah Jackson coming home?" Mom told him the date and we found this on his hand a few minutes later. Needless to say, we are starting the count down.
