Our ward was lucky enough to get tickets to the conference center for the broadcast this year. I even was hooked up with free parking passes, (only 700 blocks from our destination), but it was all good!
Growing up, it was a tradition to attend the broadcast then go out for pizza. I have tried to re-create this tradition but it just doesn't seem to happen. Each year there is something we have to get back for or someone wants to join us. So much for mother daughter bonding!
Kathleen came down to join in the fun. We all piled into the Yukon and headed downtown. Sierra met us there since she was already downtown with her friend.
We were supposed to be in our seats at 5:30 sharp but to find a parking stall took way longer than I had scheduled and then the walk. Wow, the walk was amazingly long.
The long and the short of it we made it and actually got super great seats thanks to our young women leaders saving them for us.
We were all seated waiting for it to begin when in walks the prophet. Complete silence in seconds and we all stood to show our respect.
The talks were phenomenal. Teesh busily took notes while I basked in the spirit and silence. Silence these days is priceless. I seem to always have noise and chaos around me so silence felt great. Malia brought her good friend Avery and Sierra sat with her friend Morgan. The talks were awesome! The theme "stand ye in holy places and be not moved". The leaders are truly inspired. I really hope my girls felt what I did. These days there is so much evil but in actualality there is so much good too. Stay close to the prophet little ones. Stand in Holy Places and be not moved.
We made the 700 block trek back to our yukon and went to the store to score the makings for ice cream sundaes.
What a great evening! Now on to Easter celebrations.
Leticia, Kathleen, Malia, and Avery
