General Conference

We made a surprise trip to Salt Lake City for General Conference as President Parker

Was called as an Area Seventy to serve in the North America Southwest Area.It 

Felt very uncomfortable leaving the mission!Especially since we couldn’t tell anyone,

Even our own children until it was read at General Conference. The first morning

We were there, we took this photo in front of the Salt Lake Temple where we were

Married and sealed 40 years ago. Looking forward to another great 40 years on this journey

Together. 

We loved every minute of inspired meetings before General Conference.  This picture

Was taken right after being set apart by Elder Neil L. Anderson of the Quorum of the

Twelve Apostles. 

What a blessing to get to learn and serve under these leaders.



We love it every single time to enter the beautiful conference Center.

What a Conference and as Elder Holland said, “What a Prophet!”

We love and sustain this Prophet of God. 

A revelatory Conference in every sense of the word!

You never know what the Lord has in store for you next.  Don’t get comfortable!

We are focused on the Australia Adelaide Mission but humbly look forward to

Serving wherever we are called. 

A huge perk of being at conference was getting to see so many people we love.  This is 

President and Sister Chevarri from Costa Rica.  They served as our youngest son,

Brandons mission president and wife in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

So happy to see Elder Wilkins and Elder K. Johnson


And to finally meet Krista, Elder  Wilkins wife!

More returned missionaries that made our day! Elder Hanley, Sister Esplin and

Sister Freitas!

So excited that Sister Freitas is attending school in Utah so we will see her occasionally.

All the way from Brazil!  Love you so much Sister Freitas!



So fun to meet the eternal companions of a few of our returned missionaries.  This

Is Mr. and Mrs. Carslile!  We are so grateful to see these missionaries following

God’s plan of happiness as they are sealed to an eternal companion in the House 

Of the Lord.  Love you Sister Esplin (Carlisle)!
