Amazing Day!

General Conference- April 4-5
Grammar point: subject-verb agreement
This weekend is the weekend of the 179th General Conference was celebrated by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. I was able to attend the Sunday afternoon session. Three of the Church leaders spoke, all on different topics. President Monson spoke about the journey of the pioneers, and hardships they encountered as they traveled west. It was a difficult journey for them, and talk was a good reminder for me to stay faithful, even when times are difficult. On a brighter note, on thing I always enjoy during General Conference is performance of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. They sing so beautifully, and the congregation was able to follow the along using the hymnbooks! What a joyous day!
