Conference

Wasn’t conference wonderful?!

We were able to listen to all the sessions on the phone. We just called in on our regular line (the one we call in on for church each Sunday). They had us hooked up that way. I even listened to Priesthood Session, since it was on speaker phone in the living room.

The only problem was with the final session. For some reason, we didn’t get hooked up. Ten minutes into the session, it was pretty obvious that something was wrong, not just delayed. So I phoned the Branch President at home. (He lives in Anchorage and was watching conference with his family.) He tried to figure out what was wrong, but finally he just laid his phone in front of his television and we heard it that way. So we missed the first twenty minutes or so. And then it also cut out a few times later, so missed some other stuff—including part of the cow story (the lost calves). We’ll have to read them in the Ensign.

I am SO grateful for modern technology! It allows us to hear and see things going on around the world. I am so glad there are smart people who know how to make it happen.
