October 6: General Conference (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2014/10?lang=eng)

Dang!!!! Was it just me or was this General Conference the best we've ever had (or at least since I've been born/watching them)?

It was probably just me.

I learned that eating cinnamon rolls and sitting on your couch is not, contrary to popular belief, the best way to watch conference!! Who knew!?

Being in the church building, being physically and spiritually prepared, and sitting with other people who are paying attention changed everything. When you’re not getting up to serve yourself another glass of milk, distracted by the burning pancakes, or asking someone to pass the maple syrup, Conference is another story. A way more interesting one. Every session of conference passed sooo fast. There’s no way I’m going back to watching Conference like I used to. I’m gonna sleep and eat enough before that I’m physically prepared. I’m gonna act like I’m in church. Cause it’s at least as important as church. The part with the good food—that’s gonna be in between sessions, and it’s not gonna run into my time and opportunity to listen to the prophets, apostles, and leaders called of God.

If you guys had the same kinda-distracted, kinda-sleepy experience with Conference I used to have, you’re missing out of so much!!! I invite you to make it a goal to have a new Conference experience in April and every General Conference after. And I invite you to look up my fav talks from this one :D
