Saturday, April 13thWe spent the morning finishing up in the house and washing. I needed to wash everything that was covering our bed and the table in the living room, plus do the weeks wash. Thankfully there was a good breeze today so we were able to get most of the wash dry.
Then we got ready for General Conference. We have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. We watch it on CD’s so they showed the Priesthood session first. It started at 1:00 in the afternoon and then the men were able to go home and get their families. We watched the Sat. morning session at 4:00 and the afternoon session at 6:30. There isn’t much of a break but conference is so good that it really doesn’t seem like it is that long. However, sitting on those plastic classroom chairs is not very comfortable. I took my little pillow with me and did alright. We loved the sessions. All of the talks were so good and the spirit was strong. The intermediate songs were so fun. The Tongan people love to sing and they really filled the room with beautiful music. But they sing much slower here than we do in the states. They had a hard time keeping up with the music. It was good for them to see how fast they should be singing them. We will see if it will help.
