We had the general session of our Stake Conference this morning. The plan was to broadcast video and audio from the Stake Center into another building in our Stake and out to the Arbon Branch building about 45 minutes south of Pocatello. The main part of Stake Conference was being broadcast from Salt Lake City and at the appropriate time each of the buildings would pick up the broadcast from Salt Lake, and then switch back to the broadcast from the Stake Center at the end of the Salt Lake feed.

There are still plenty of technical issues to be worked out. But, it was a good conference and I enjoyed hearing from some of our Church leaders as well as President Monson.

After Conference I conducted two ordinations to High Priest, we came home and got a bite to eat, and then drove over to Soda Springs to spend some time with mother. We took dinner over and spent a couple of hours there.

Mother is doing pretty well. Her phone had stopped working and hopefully we’ve figured out that problem. I tried to replace the rope for her flag out front and only succeeded in pulling the rope clear out of the pulley at the top. Now I have to take the whole flagpole down to rethread the new rope. We’ve taken it down before. It’s not hard, just need a couple of people to assist so it doesn’t fall into the house and break something if we loose hold of it.

We seem to really be into Spring. That also means there’s a boatload of yard work awaiting. Ugh.

TTFN!
