Thanks for the update! Good job on all your links! (I still don't know how to do that)
Living here in the Beehive State, we got to watch the Press Conference on TV this morning. I love Monson!
I got to watch the new conf online w/byutv and it was interesting to read the links and see what they picked out of the quesitons to use in their articles!
I only got to watch the last 10 mins on byutv online because I didn't know it was happening until my sister called.
I was so excited to see this! Elder Uchtdorf is such a great choice! Hey, who did your blog template?
Holly- I found it on Cutestblogs. It is listed on the side bar as cute blogs and its EASY! My brother has been saying since Pres. Hinckley passed on that he thought it would be Elder Uchtdorf, how cool that he was right?! :)
Well how cool is that? =) Thanks for all the links.
Keeley- No prob!
