The Spirit of God Like a Fire ...

Buds!

These ducks crossed the road single file almost in the cross walk as
Todd and I were driving towards our hotel Saturday morning. We
just couldn't get stopped and the camera out in time to catch them!
It was hilarious!

Watching the Saturday morning session

Taking notes in his Conference Journal

In the Conference Center plenty early (Grandpa's famous "lead time") for
the Saturday afternoon session

See? I'm really here!
Gregory Guy Rose with his grandson Todd Gregory Wilson
outside the Conference Center!

What a happy time! Isn't he handsome?

The tour guide kept commenting that Todd looked like a missionary!

Another fun picture tradition from the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Building!

Todd and I loved this statue of Joseph Smith reading James 1:5
by the Legacy Theater. It is much bigger than it looks in this picture!

The reflecting pool.

The Christus was our last stop before meeting Grandpa after the Priesthood Session!

I wanted to get these pictures posted. I will write about General Conference and our wonderful time with Todd when I have a little more time.

Mom & Dad,
Thank you so much for the incredible weekend you spent with Todd. He had such a wonderful time with you. I know it would be easier and more restful to spend these weekends alone, but your sacrifice is noted and greatly appreciated. Thanks for posting these pictures -- they're so fun. Love you.

Todd is growing up so fast I just can hardly believe what a little man he is becoming. It won't be very long before he is a missionary. I remember all the years we attended General Conference when Dad was a bishop. They are such great memories. We loved our time together and loved being in the Tabernacle. It was also special then because Nancy was singing in the choir at the time. You're grandkids will treasure these moments.

Thanks for all your sweet comments on our blog. What fun pictures! I bet you are loving having some of your grandkids getting older and being able to do fun things like that with Todd. He's getting so big! And we also loved conference!

What a great weekend. Todd is such a great kid, he really does look like a missionary! I'm so grateful that you and dad are so willing to take the grandkids to this, what a wonderful opportunity it is and they look so forward to it. I LOVE the picture of dad and Todd together, for some reason, it brought a tear to my eye!
