this conference was the 181ST ANNUAL GENERAL CONFERENCE.
181... think about that. all the words. all the people. I made a goal to watch all of conference this year, take notes, and get as much out of it as was available.. and I DID IT! i have never felt the spirit more during conference and it was completely worth it.
At the beginning of the 2nd session some statistics were read. these are the ones i caught in my notes
as of the end of 2010.............
2,896 stakes
340 missions
28,260 wards and branches
14,131,467 members
272,814 converts
52,225 missionaries
134 temples
while these were being read... this is what i thought... stakes (salt lake butler stake), missions (panama city panama mission), wards, (butler 1st ward), members (all my siblings, parents, nieces and nephews, and missionary), converts (the people bryce have converted), missionaries (bryce, tanner(cousin), and friends), temples (logan, salt lake, jordan river, oquirrh, draper, bountiful, st. george, manti, timpanogas, provo, ogden, and any others in utah i may have missed)
i am SO BLESSED! i am SO GRATEFUL! i am SO PROUD!
some of my favorites...

someday every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ
