Stake conference started with a session with all stake members--who were able to make it--to the Temple 3:00 pm session. Before the session though we met with and recieved council from our stake President Stephen Hunter and The temple Pres and his wife.
It was very heart felt all of them. It set the tone for a wonderful session and a dinner that followed. Because Elder Ellis is the visiting authority, Bryan and the other Members of the stake Pres met with him Sat morning. They were able to get to know him better and he was able to get to know them better. One thing that is different than other stake conferences in the past 7 years is that Elder Ellis (who presides) will tell them at the start of each meeting who will be speaking and for how long. I know each of the Speakers will be wonderful and share testimony. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.. Bryan and I along with other members of the Stake Pres will be able to enjoy a dinner provided between one of the leadership meetings and the adult sessions, Elder Ellis will eat with us and I am looking forward to being around him.

Elder Ellis gave a great talk! This might sound silly but my favorite part of his talk was when he asked all the primary kids to stand up and recite the first article of faith and both of my boys stood and recited it by themselves. I was so proud of them.
