Yesterday and the day before was stake conference for us. For those who may remember, this is somewhat of a change from how it has been - or how it is scheduled for the future. Usually we have this conference in December, but many of the stake conferences around us were also changed to this month for some reason. My speculation is that being just prior to the November election it gave those speaking a chance to address, in a stake setting, important moral issues facing members in California this year.
The major theme turned out to be faith and hope. Very inspirational and uplifting. For further insight, read Numbers 13-14 and 1 Nephi 3-4. We had a wonderful spirit at the conference. I thoroughly enjoyed every speaker. Elder William F. Reynolds of the Seventy was our visiting authority and it was a pleasure to have him in our home. He was very down-to-earth and easy going.
The really fun part was when it came to his attention that two missionaries whom he had served with in the New England States Mission 40 years ago were living here in the stake - and married to each other. Sister Morgan and Elder Reid. (That's right, our very own Reids from down the street) It was fun to hear Elder Reynolds say: "I see Elder Reid had the good sense to come home and marry the beautiful red-headed Sister Morgan." We ate lunch together with them and Elder Reynolds before I took him to the airport. What fun!
All in all it was a great time. Just this in closing: I hope that none of my children or grandchildren will ever look at stake conference as a week off that they can go and do soenmthing else. There is far too much good to be had at ANY stake conference to ever miss even one. We love you.
