We are spending the weekend with about 14 million other people... no, not in our place...how would we fit? But watching and listening to General Conference. Every six months, the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints has a general conference over a weekend. Four sessions of two hours. 1 prophet. 12 Apostles. Lots of general authorities. lots of counsels, advices, stories, laughs, good news and above all, the amazing presence of the Holy Ghost. To teach us what we need to hear. We all hear the same talks but the Spirit will whisper the things that we need to our heart and ears. We love General Conference. Reminds me of my time as a missionary on Temple Square.
Before the 1st session started, we decided to go to the Tidal Basin for some fresh air and cherry blossoms. A bit cold but always beautiful. Blossoms remind me that there is always a new beginning available. We can start new each day, don't have to wait for Spring. Life gets tough but we blossom through our trials, we refine ourselves and become what the Lord intends for us. We are His children and our potential is huge and divine.

I love cherry blossoms, great pictures! You two look great too! It's been too long since we've talked, hope we can catch up soon.
