October General Conference weekend is the best!

A Terrific and much needed rainstorm blessed us with an amazing downpour on Saturday afternoon!  I always miss the kids when it rains.  When they were home we had a tradition that we always sat on the porch and enjoyed the rainstorms & thunder & lightning together.  Missing them today!

Conference weekend is the best as always.  President Monson was amazing, and touched my heart about the soldier trying to climb the rope to get into the ship that he was to be on.  Life feels like that at times, and we have to hang on tight and give it our all, then Heavenly Father gives us the strength!

After Conference we enjoyed dinner with the 3 other Missionary Couples in our complex.  Rod cooked the Chicken, and the others brought French bread, salads, cooked vegies, homemade icecream, and pumpkin roll!  To say the least it was delicious!!!  

Above is our Missionary Neighbors.  On the left,  Marsha & Terry Jensen from Pocatello, Idaho , Wayne & Kate Reynolds from Murray, Utah, Rod & I, and Dale & Don Johnson from Murray, Utah.  To say the least we definitely live in the party apartments!

The cute one in front in the coral shirt is the Jensen's neice, Jen, from Idaho, who came to visit and see the sights.  She has been so much fun, and we have enjoyed her quick humor, and laughter.  I think we have given her lots of excuses to laugh this week.  Laughter is always a great idea!!!  She leaves tomorrow, and we get to take her to the airport.  She has been so fun!  One of those "family fixes" I love!
