Conference Weekend

 

It's General Conference weekend, a time when we would normally be with the Barri on Saturday evening, eating pulled pork or ribs, talking lots and lots, and then attending either priesthood or the general women's meeting. Due to Covid, we met with only Lee, Cammie, and Aaron and my mom (general women's meeting this time). We did eat yummy food, and in honor of Cammie's birthday, I made lemon meringue pie. It turned out absolutely perfectly, in both appearance and taste. It was sweet and tangy, the meringue didn't separate from the pie, and it browned up so beautifully. It was the highlight of the evening. Well, food wise it was the highlight of the evening. The talks were terrific, too. 

Really, the talks the whole weekend were wonderful--uplifting, encouraging, warning. We heard several talks about food storage and physical preparation, as well as about spiritual preparation. We did a puzzle, had Seers and Cheers snacks, and came away spiritually rejuvenated and recommitted to the gospel and following the prophet(s).
