Stake Conference

Sunday, August 14 was our Stake Conference.  Caleb got to go and do baptisms for the dead on Saturday with the youth in our ward as a way to help the youth get ready for Stake Conference.  They had Stake Temple Week that whole week prior to but we did not want to leave Cayden home not knowing the full impact of the diabetes on him since he had just been in the hospital on Monday.  They always have an adult session on Saturday night.  I wanted to go but decided that I should probably choose the Sunday session when we could go as a family since I would have a hard time sitting through both.  It was hot and uncomfortable during the Sunday session but I made it.  We had Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the 12 as one of the speakers.  I usually write down what the speakers say but was trying really hard to just make it through the meeting let alone write anything down.  I do remember he said at the very end of his talk that the atonement covers all unfairness.  That was something I needed to hear because of Cayden's diabetes diagnoses just the week before and all our stress and struggle with Connor and even the fact that someone who shall not be named was put into a prominent leadership position in our stake and I only found out right then in stake conference when they did all the sustainings.  I am glad that I went to Stake Conference and got to hear from our leaders and feel the spirit.
