These shots are from April 5th, Saturday of General Conference. Jeffra Burke invited myself and a fun bunch of girls from her singles ward in Boston up to her house in Wolfeboro to learn how to make Syrup. We met there at 9am and had fun tapping trees and sampling the fresh syrup her mom had boiled and put over fresh snow. Just like I was a kid on that elementary schoool field trip again!
After our syrup adventure was done we headed to the chapel to watch the first session of conference. There were only a few others there, the Branch President and the missionaries I think (been too long to remember!). The spirit was so strong with us all during the solemn assembly. It was a wonderful experience. I just remember thinking as we went through the different quorems that were sustaining our new prophet and the leaders of the church how special it was that everyone in each different group was standing all together all over the world. By the time we got to the point where the entire church was standing together all I could imagine was people all over the world standing in chapels and in their homes and on the beach in a grass hut even in the tropical areas of the world. No matter the situation or place we all stood together and sustatined out leaders and our God. It was very moving for me and I'm sure none of you will be suprised to know that I had tears in my eyes. I always do!
