Stake Conference was this last weekend. I LOVED the adult session. And not just because it was only an hour and a half! The whole theme was on overcoming trials and the talks were all excellent. Our stake president spoke last and had a different take on it and focused on our relationship with our spouse and becoming selfless. It was a really great session and I loved that there were no kids to distract us. Just me and my sweetie sitting next to each other, listening to the speakers and feeling the spirit. After conference, a few of the couples went to Shari's - of course, I had to have the lemon meringue pie. One of my favorites. Sean had a chocolate peanut butter shake and then we shared an appetizer sampler. Seriously, this brought back memories of my youth and time in the singles ward. Shari's was always a favorite post-dance hang-out spot.
The next day, Sunday, our stake conference was split into two different sessions. We had the afternoon session, but Sean had to be there early to help direct traffic {the parking situation there is horrible!}. Ethan and I had a good 45 minutes inside the chapel to wait for things to start, so we got a good seat and waited. I hadn't realized our conference was going to be a broadcast, so they had a countdown going to when the broadcast would start. Initially, there was a picture of Christ up on the screen with the countdown, but sometime before it started the picture of Christ disappeared and it was just the minutes ticking down. Ethan looked up at it and said, "When will Jesus come back?" I smiled and said, "I don't know." Ethan was getting kind of tired and snuggled up next to me and said, "Oh. Will you tell me when he comes back?" I told him, "Yes, I will."
It was such a beautiful and simple little conversation and he had no idea the depth of what he was saying, but it sure touched my heart.
