General Conference Oct 2009

5:59 PM 0 Comments

So, this was Finn's 2nd General Conference and this time he was awake for most of the sessions. So we were able to get some really cute pics with him watching Conference. He really seemed to pay attention to certain Apostles. I personally enjoyed Conference because I was able to use Twitter to "tweet" during the talks. Tweeting allows me to jot down the quotes that stand out to me or at least "retweet" the quotes that stand out to me that others are fast enough to type. LOL - BTW I'm VisitTeach on Twitter or you can also follow ClarkWinegar on Twitter too. You can now watch, read, or Listen to General Conference!

Download a 4x6 of Finn and Clark here. Finn's legs are crossed and looks toooo cute paying attention to conference.

Here are some of the quotes which I Tweeted: (there are also some tweets from the General Relief Society Meeting)

I'm thankful to my Heavenly Father for:

1. A latter-day Prophet here on the Earth today to lead and guide us in the things which the Lord would have us do.


2. The decision made to stream General Conference online so we could watch from home. (I used to watch at church buildings while living in FL and would fall asleep during talks.)


3. For the knowledge that I am a Princess! I need to get a tiara so that I can act like one when wearing it, because I don't really act like one. LOL I'm just kind of crazy.


4. Keyboard so I can type, because my handwriting is not legible. I started typing my homework in 10th grade.


5. Windex...I seriously use it for everything. They need to make one with disinfectant/anti-bacterial so that I can REALLY use it on everything and not leave streaks.
