this past sunday we had the chance to watch the sunday morning session of conference for our church meeting (please keep in mind that we aren't able to watch the sessions live here in australia - except this time when i actually did, when it started at midnight for us, as alexander just would not go to sleep that night and laid awake most of the night - so while he wiggled, i watched that session!) it was really good and a wonderful thing to watch as the 200th anniversary of the first vision was celebrated!
it was certainly different though, as the speakers (only! no additional people were there) sat 6 feet apart in a mini auditorium instead of the conference centre and delivered their talks. president nelson even joked that when he promised us this conference would be unforgettable that this isn't what he had in mind.
the sunday morning session ended with the presentation of a new proclamation - the restoration of the fulness of the gospel of jesus christ: a bicentennial proclamation to the world, read by president nelson in the sacred grove as a precorded part of his talk hear him and then a solemn assembly with a hosanna shout to further celebrate this bicentenary.
i know there are so many other good talks and i am very excited to listen to all of them using this general conference challenge sheet that is released after each conference (you can find it via a facebook group called "general conference challenge.") it's well worth doing it this way - i find i take so much more in when i listen to them one by one instead of during a two hour block.
so here we go! can't wait to hear what everyone had to say... how lucky we are to live in a time where we know of the truth and are able to continue to hear the words of the lord through our church leaders. we are truly blessed. ❤
