Five lasting impressions from general conference
Last Friday we left our home in Colorado and drove to our first general conference.
It was a delightful road trip over the Rocky Mountains. The weather was perfect, and we had the additional blessing of witnessing some amazing fall colors: The panoply of yellow, orange, red and green was breathtaking.

We drove into Orem through Provo Canyon with an overwhelming sense of peace and contentment, which is no small accomplishment given the eight-hour drive in a car crammed with five people, five suitcases, five pillows and blankets, as well as books, food, miscellaneous games, DVDs and other things we have yet to dig out from between the seats.
