General Conference 2008

Conference is always as bizarre and interesting outside as it is peaceful and spiritual on the inside.

This man was playing Hail to the Man.

Lori and Dad walked together and I lagged behind taking pictures. Matthew walked with us on Saturday but on Sunday he dropped us off and parked the car.

We were shouted at and told that we were all going to hell. The hate in his voice sort of contradicted his purpose, I thought. Wasn't he trying to "save" us?

I was unable to get this sign which said that he was Satan and that the men there with him (those in the other photo) were his teachers. That got a lot of smiles. Mostly the members just ignored all of the protesters and those protesting the protesters. There was a group of young women standing near some of the protesters who were singing church hymns. They sung so badly, though, they were kind of an embarrassment.

We were able to attend the Solemn Assembly and enjoyed that very much. Conference was amazing as you know.
