This was our sixth and last General Conference in Grenada. Technology has come a long way since we first got here three years ago. Our first General Conference here we were only able to listen to half a talk on the Internet due to all sorts of technical difficulties. Watching on the satellite at the church wasn't much better. But it's been improving every time since, and this conference we were able to see the speakers on the Internet as clearly as if we were watching it on TV. The reception at the church was excellent also.
I was very proud of Esther. Yesterday she sat through about 45 minutes of conference. Today she made it through most of the first session at church. She really loved coloring the activity packs we printed off. She also pointed out to me every time President Monson was speaking. "Mommy, that's President Monson. He's our prophet!"
Presidents Monson, Eyring, and Uchtdorf gave my favorite talks this conference (go figure) along with Elder Bednar and Elder Ballard. I really enjoyed this conference. There were a lot of messages I needed to hear. And I am very glad that the church can stream everything over the Internet so we're able to enjoy it wherever we are. We already downloaded the MP3s so I can listen to it again while I'm washing dishes after the kids are asleep. Isn't technology great?

Yay! I remember our first time there, it was so frustrating. I'm glad it was so much better this time! When we were in Saint Vincent, we couldn't get anything so we ended up going to the Pirates set. It was a lot of fun, but it was really sad to miss Conference.
Ester looks intent on coloring, what did William do during conference? Technology is great and has improved a lot in the three years.
Skype is wonderful also.
Love
Grammy and Grandpa
