Davis County Regional Conference, 27 April 2014

(This is for the Church IT guys who linked to my last regional conference blog and apparently monitor Mormon blogs):

This is NOT an official transcript or publication of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I post here in no official capacity. These are merely my poor personal notes of ideas and thoughts from Regional Conference that I share with the world to bear my own personal testimony of the Lord, His restored Gospel, and the way I see things.

We went to the Stake Center even though our Stake was requested to go to the Conference Center. This was mainly at my wife's urging and I thought it was fine. We didn't use up gas and pollute the valley, nor did we risk the chance of not getting in like happened at last regional conference.

Oh, and these notes are from my smart phone, so they are briefer search-and-peck and may contain weird auto-text words I will attempt to edit out:

Stake center full
No view yet of conf center

Man's natural inclination is to measure [I noted to my wife that measuring is essentially "science"]
We measure selves and each other
Grandma loved pink. Children stood in doorway to measure height. Many years many marks.

  2. Thank you for the notes. I was asked by a family member the details of the conference little over a month ago and it was one that I had not taken my own notes. Frantically I tried to jog my memory with Google searches and found yours. I remembered the talks as I read your notes as if they had been my own.
