General Conference & NPR

This weekend is our church's semi-annual General Conference, where our prophets and apostles share with us messages from our Heavenly Father.

I keep working on making it meaningful for the little girls, even if it's hard for them to understand, and to have patience with the length. There are a lot of choir songs, which they like, and a lot of talks, which do not keep their attention. But one thing I have succeeded at is hyping up the experience, so Kiddo is very excited about it.

Yesterday afternoon I had NPR's All Things Considered playing while I made dinner. A new story started, with a church organ playing, then the iconic quote voiced by an old man "Maw-aige, maw-aige is what brings us to-ge-ther, today" from Princess Bride.

"General Conference!" Kiddo yelled.
