Easter and Conference

Dear families, 

We just got home from Conference at 9:30 p.m.  It was so wonderful!  Yesterday when it began and the prophet spoke, we and all the other missionaries in the English session cried, because we love him and miss being close to the headquarters.  Each day we had planned an easy setup for the Internet live sessions, but something happened each time to try to waylay us-- yesterday there was no computer, and today the projector did not work. We did finally find a computer.  We in the English session yielded to the needs of the Portuguese session and gave them the projector we had that worked.  As in all other times of using the projector and computer, we found we needed to pray it into working and getting set up right.  So we did, and very shortly someone was available to hook it all up correctly so everyone could view the Conference.  We had the live sessions.  No Priesthood session though (it would have been at 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. if available).
Just wanted you all to know that we did see it all and enjoyed it immensely.

50 young adults came to our home this morning at 11 to have an Easter morningside service.  All 8 missionaries gave a part of the lesson on the document "The Living Christ", which we gave to each attender.  We sang Easter hymns and ate trail mix (homemade).  Photos later.

Love, Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Elder and Sister
