Kite Contests, Conference and EASTER!! WHOO HOOO!!!

Yesterday we had a kite making/flying contest. ALTHOUGH our kites did not fly well, we did get prizes for prettiest homemade kite and smallest kite. HAHAH! It was a wonderful day. The morning started with lightening, high winds and heavy rain and ended in the late afternoon with clear skies, warm winds and perfect conditions for us and our friends to fly our kites! Isn't this life? It can really stink, be scary, and uncomfortable, but if you continue to be creative, support others by showing up, and maintain your relationships with God, family and friends...it will end warm and delightful. Learn more about that at conference! This weekend is General Conference, with sessions on Saturday at 9 AM, 1 PM, and 5 PM and Sunday at 9 AM and 1 PM. It is a wonderful opportunity to feel the Savior's greater love, and intentionally begin your worship this magnificent Easter season. The church continually expands the ways that we can watch and listen to conference. Did you know you can listen to all sessions on your smart speaker? Just say, "Alexa, open General Conference."

I read a fantastic article today about preparing for Easter. Since it's on the 20th, they have 20 quotes (one for each day in April) to hang up in your house, study, or pass along.
