If you didn't happen to catch the above at first glance, allow me to enlighten you. After Elder McConkie's Saturday morning General Conference talk on teaching, I turned to Kent and said "You know my kids always listen better when I fast. Maybe I should fast every Sunday."
Kent: " That might be a little extreme sweetheart. Maybe you should just fast in the morning before going, ya know, like a half-fast."
As the words were coming out of his mouth, he realized the accidental creation of a dual meaning compound word. We both burst out laughing for the next five minutes. It was hilarious!
Here I must needs inform you as to my current calling, the sunday school teacher to 16 sixteen-year olds. I find this hilarious on many levels including, but not limited to the fact that I never went to Sunday School when I was 16. My teacher actually took to posting watchmen at the exits of the building to evade our escape, one of which was the bishop. Which brings me to a sincere apology. Dear Sister Oborn, I am so so so sorry for my lack of respect toward you during my adolescence. If it makes you feel any better, I disrespected everyone so it wasn't just you. And how I admire you now and always, you lovely woman, and may I just say that is a very fetching blouse you are wearing....
Anyway, this is the first time in our lives that we haven't been able to watch conference in the comfort of our own homes. We actually had to travel 20 minutes to watch it at the stake center. And we did! All four sessions. We sat in the nursery and watched it on the TV there while the kids played. We loved it so much. We are so grateful to live in a free country where we can worship freely. We are grateful for a prophet in these troubled times.
How sweet it is to be in love with this gospel, with my family, by my sweet husband, and with the Lord's precious words. How very sweet it is.
On an unrelated note, Bella raided Daddy's closet earlier this week and thought it was hilarious.
