OK, so we have church at 9 in the morning. We've been spoiled with a later time for the two years we've been married. So we were slow going this morning as we got ready for church and without it being said, we were both complaining to each other about how early it is to be up on a Sunday. So we get to the building and we're walking in to the chapel right at 9 o'clock and there are a hand full of people and some microphones set up in the choir section and we look at each other trying to figure out what's going on and I look at this lady and as she's saying it, we realize that it's stake conference and it doesn't start until 10. So we sat in the cushy seats that you have to be way early in order to get and listened to the choir practice.

It really was a good stake conference. I thought I would share a cool story. The theme was strengthening the family. The story goes like this:

A father was sitting down to enjoy reading the Sunday paper when his little boy came to him and asked him to read him a story. The father said he would read it with him a little later after he was done with the paper. The father was hoping that his son would be distracted and he wouldn't have to deal with it. His son came back in a couple of minutes with the same request. The father noticed a magazine that had a picture of the world on it. He ripped out the page and tore it up into a bunch of pieces. He challenged his son to put the world back together with the tape on his desk. The father thought for sure that this would keep his son busy and was proud of his quick thinking. A few minutes later, the son returns the broken world all taped together. The father was amazed at how quick he was able to put it back together and asked his son how he was able to do it. The son replied that it was easy because there was a picture of a home on the backside and once he put the home back together the world took care of itself. The father thought that that was some pretty good advice.

I thought that was a cool story and rings true to me.
