Weekend full of fun in the s.....snow


Cassie and I were able to enjoy ourselves this weekend with all the excitement of General Conference. As is custom, everyone and his dog here in Provo was having a mission reunion over the weekend. Early I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my mission president was going to be in Salt Lake, and the a mission reunion was being planned for Friday! Well, the time came and everything worked out so that Cassie and I were able to go. I obviously was super excited to see all of my old companions and friends, and especially see the president again. Cassie wasn't so excited just because she figured she wasn't going to be able to understand anything (which was true to a certain extent, but not completely). She was a good sport though, and let me drag her along :D
We also had the chance to attend General Conference at the conference center on Sunday morning thanks to my wonderful roommate Jeff. Thanks again for the tickets Jeff! The session was great! And it was really cool too because we went early enough to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform the 4,203 broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word. It was awesome! They closed with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, which is such a powerful number, especially when MoTab sings it, so the whole experience was pretty much amazing. It was great listening to the prophet and leaders of the church this weekend, and both of us walked away feeling uplifted and wanting to be better people. After watching conference we decided to take some pictures in temple square and happened to run into Elayna and some of her friends as we were taking pictures.
Later that night we were invited over for dinner at the cousins. It was great food and great company! Thank you Daryl and Annie for letting us come over and helping out us poor college students. We appreciate it so much!
Other than that Cassie and I are just trying to survive these last couple of weeks of classes and finals, along with planning the wedding. We're busy, but it's great because it's helping time go by a lot quicker!
