Stake Conference Notes

This past weekend was Stake Conference and (pat ourselves on the back) we made it to the Saturday night session! Truth be told, I had no idea there was even a SAturday night session of Stake Conference until I was in college. Although I think its a great idea to have a session just for adults, what are people supposed to do with their kids? And doesn't paying a babysitter so you can go to a church meeting seem so un-Mormon? I digress. I was very excited that I went and I learned a lot, but it made we question that thinking about having more than a small infant.

Anyways, by far my favorite part of Stake Conference was from the Presiding Elder Hardy. He was talking about his family and how his parents created a Gospel culture in their home. He emphasized that by no means were they religious fanatics, nor 'weird' mormons, but a strong loving family who surrounded themselves in the Gospel. The thing that stuck out to me was when he said, "I didn't learn anything at church- that I hadn't already learned at home."

Cortney and I have been talking about this a lot since last weekend and have decided that is a really great goal that we have set for our family. As Cortney and I try to immerse ourselves in the Gospel, hopefully we can set the example needed for our home to have a "Gospel Culture".
