General Conference Weekend

It was a fun weekend out here in the good ole’ west! Some of my roommates and I were able to attend General Conference. So of course my weekend was splendid! For some of my friends who aren’t familiar with General Conference I’ll explain it briefly. 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds General Conference every 6 months. It is held the first weekend in April and the first weekend in October. General Conference is a time for us to hear inspiring words from our beloved prophet and his apostles. All words are inspired from God and the prophet provides us with counsel on how to improve our lives. Being in the presence of those men called of God is a wonderful feeling. You can sense the feeling of the spirit in the Conference Center. It testifies that what we are hearing is indeed true!

Of course this is only a brief description of what General Conference is, but I wouldn’t mind explaining it more in detail with anyone that wants to know more. J You can also visit Mormon.org or lds.org for more info. 

One of the highlights of this weekend was spent outside the Conference Center in Temple Square. I just love seeing the Salt Lake Temple and all the beautiful scenery. It was nice getting out of Rexburg for a couple days and not worry about school. Every time I go to Salt Lake I always have fun. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

This coming weekend is going to be another fun weekend of traveling. On Friday I head to San Francisco where I will be attending the PRSSA National Conference. I’m super excited because I’ve never been to California except for the one time I flew into the Long Beach airport.  

I’m can’t wait to meet other PR lovers like myself and to hear advice from PR professionals. It’s going to be great! I can’t wait to blog about it! You won’t want to miss it!
