Karli's young women received tickets to attend the General Women's Conference session at the Conference Center. Blake surprised us and came home for the week-end, so he came with us on our day out. The day started with Prom dress shopping. I wasn't sure how successful we would be, so we left early and had the dress bought by noon! It is beautiful. THe prom is on April 18, 2009, so I will make sure pictures are posted! We then did errands in Ogden and then headed to Salt Lake. We walked around temple square, went into the Tabernacle and enjoyed the sounds and the spirit that is there. While at temple squre, BLake met a sister missionary from Brazil. Her father's family is all from Salvador and so she told Blake to find her family and baptize them all. That was neat for him to visit with her for a few minutes. THen Karli and I went to the session and Blake walked through the visitor center and then went and watched the Joseph Smith movie. The session was great. THe spirit was so strong and we learned about the new value, Virtue. The prophet spoke about virtue and what is means to be a virtuous woman. We left feeling uplifted and recommitted to follow the commandments and be a better person. When the conference was over the prophet waved and blew a kiss to us! The day ended with a yummy meal at Chili's complete with molten cake! It was a great day from beginning to end!
