Must have: cinnamon rolls on General Conference Sunday, according to Olivia

When I took them out of the oven I though they looked quite baroque.

In Beijing we observe General Conference Sunday the week after so people have time to download the talks. We decided to watch at home this time, a thing I was glad for when Elder Holland's talk on pornography brought up some interesting questions. We had to put the talk on pause so I could think of some articulate responses.

Must have: a better answer next time my kids ask "What is lust?"
Everyone listened quite attentively after that discussion.

I always feel that familiar good spirit when the introduction to Conference begins and I see Temple square and hear the choir singing, and the voice of the Prophet, apostles and other leaders. Their messages always comfort and assure.
