Thursday morning we headed down to Provo for classes. We enjoyed the classes and really enjoyed being together! Women's Conference is so powerful. There are thousands of women there and they all wanted to be uplifted. Its a great experience.
On Thursday night they have a huge service project night. They have stations set up all over the Smith Field House and the Richard's building. We helped make puppets for kids and we helped tie a quilt.
We stopped at the new President Hinckley Alumni building. It's beautiful. I loved this picture of President and Sister Hinckley! In this picture I was reading the cutest story about this chair... Sister Hinckley's mom embroidered the top of the chair and before Sister Hinckley passed away it was donated to a department at BYU in her name. Then when President Hinckley was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for this new building he said "She has, on this campus, a chair which carries her name and now I have a building," President Hinckley said. "Maybe we could move her chair into my building and we'd be together again." it was so cute!! Can't you hear his voice saying that!
Friday we went to more great classes. I loved Sister Beck's talk on strengthening the family. you will have to watch for it on BYU-TV. At the closing session we got to hear from Elder Perry. He was great. He spoke on missionary work.
On Saturday morning we all headed to Vegas because Scott was blessing baby Afton on Sunday. ( I will post pictures of that tomorrow) So, Cindy and Julie and Spencer drove in Cindy's van and my parents drove with me. Just outside of Nephi Cindy got a flat tire and it was POURING down rain!!! By the time we got turned around and back to their car, Cindy had gotten started. I was impressed. Not sure I know how to get my spare tire from under my car?? A nice man stopped to help and he had a huge umbrella! It was yucky weather all the way passed Cedar City. We stopped in Filmore and got a new tire. It made for an exciting ride home.
