This is a picture of myself, my three roommates and two of my best friends. Tonight we had tickets to go to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional in the conference center in Salt Lake. As you can see from this picture taken on the escalators inside the conference center, we were pretty excited about the opportunity.
It's things like this, being able to go sit in the same room as the prophet and his counselors and listen to them speak, that make living in Utah and putting up with the cold, worth it for me.
The speakers were wonderful and the MoTab performed beautifully. Afterwards, the girls and I spent an hour freezing as we wandered around temple square looking at all of the lights. For anyone who has never gone to see them, I have to highly recommend that you go, soon. It was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, but also to slow down and breathe through all the stress that comes with finals being a week away. It's the small things, like being with friends who love you and can always make you smile, or putting up with the bitter cold to see some twinkly Christmas lights, that remind me why life is so worthwhile.
Even with finals coming up.
I thought the video was pretty cool to show at the devotional. Nothing beats Christmas and temple square.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping we're going to get to see the dude from our class in these videos! I'm pretty sure that's what he had the beard permit for.
ReplyDeleteWhen I go to the conference center for general conference or a devotional I always remember them, and what I learned a lot more than just watching it at home. That was a cool opportunity for you and your friends.
