Dear Family,
General Conference has been great. I always wonder how they knew I needed to hear what was taught.
We went to the General priesthood meeting in our Stake House.
John came up as did
Mike and
Doug. Here we are before our post Priesthood Meeting barbecue. Here are
Mike, Nate, Spence, Michael, with
Joseph, John, Opa and Doug behind. Fewer numbers this time as
Jake and
Douglas are on their missions. The kids all take notes during Priesthood Meeting and are quizzed during our dinner.
I smoked three racks of ribs for the occasion and here are
Michael, Spence, Doug, and Nate with a pile of ribs. The boys were anxious to get to the review before they forgot. They all did well and could summarize all talks. It is hard to pick out one talk from another but I thought the talk by
Elder Oaks was especially note worthy discussing a tricky question. This talk need to be studied.
The Sunday session was also outstanding and especially uplifting. So wonderful to experience Conference.
MORE REUNION PICTURES
Here is a shot of the couple who get the
Trachtenmode prize. Here are
Becky (Bequiss Christensen, now
Fairbanks) and her husband
James.
Becky served in Austria and was one of those super sister missionaries.
James served in the Dominican Republic. He got the authentic Bavarian Lederhose from a brother.
James sings in the Tabernacle Choir and we spotted him on TV during conference. He has his own dental practice in the valley.
Becky is busy as a social worker.
Here is a "Selfie" that the little girl took of herself and her mother,
Kristi DeMille Spackman. We took our missionary picture with my Leica M9 mounted on a tripod with the shutter set on delayed release. This little girl watched the process, and after the group picture was over, ran to the camera, took a chair and touched off the shutter.
Kristi ran forward to prevent a knock over of the camera but when they saw the blinking red light, dashed in front for this shot. The focus was set for beyond but this is a pretty good picture. Lots of fun and good tines at the reunion.
Well, study the talks of conference and see where something might apply. We have great leaders.
Love to all,
Mom and Dad
