Today we held our traditional dinner after the last session of General Conference. We love hosting these. We love the senior couples with whom we serve. Every one of them is so kind. They are all working hard in this part of the Lord's vineyard.
Because there were eighteen of us, we had to eat out of our laps. The men sat in the living room on all the soft furniture and the women congregated in the dining room on the hard chairs. How does that work??
I made BBQ chicken in the crockpot which is really good if I do say so myself. Moist and flavorful. The sisters all brought salads, and I made Mud Pie for dessert. I found the recipe in a ward cookbook; ward cookbooks are the very best kind as they are tried and true as well, and they use common ingredients.
We sat around chatting and then we asked what was each person's favorite conference talk and why; there were 15 different ones. It is interesting that even with the two talks that more than one person likes the reasons for liking them were different. I believe that is because the message of those talks in carried to our hearts by the Holy Ghost who tailors them to our needs. Another tender mercy from our loving Father in Heaven.
We ate at 4:30 and the last couple left just before 8 o'clock.
