October Conference 2012

The October conference 2012 is one I will never forget. First of all, Daniel was invited to attend a special meeting with the General Authorities. He was kind of nervous so he woke up early that Friday, as usual got there an hour early. In that special meeting some new items were discussed about some changes but the real surprise came when President Monson annouced the age change for boys to be 18 and for girls to be 19. I was there and felt so excited!! HOW WONDERFUL more girls will go on missions. Also the next day on Sunday a miracle happend. Mandy needed an extra ticket for one of Becca's friends so I gave her mine so they could get in. Daniel went in and I went looking for a spare ticket. I saw a woman counting some tickets she had on her  hand and asked if she had an extra one and she said, Yes! HOW AMAZING I was there inside even before Daniel got there. I was worried because it was almost time to start and he wasn't in then all of the sudden I see him but my reserved seats were taken so we had to sit somewhere else. This is when I discovered something about Daniel, he feels he needs to be inside that building no matter what. He thinks is his duty and part of his work. But I am just as happy watching it on TV because so many people want to go in and there is only so much space. I felt a little upset he didn't stay out with me and he felt upset I gave away my ticket. This was a tense moment for me because I thought he would be happy to see that I managed to get inside but he was still very upset I gave my ticket away because that meant he would have to go inside alone. Nevertheless we survived all that anxiety. That afternoon I went out to meet Mandy and her friends at temple square where I gave the missionaries some names of people. What I think I should do is ask those people before I send the missionaries so they don't have to feel rejected.  The rest of the week there was just as usual, doctors appointments and eating out with the kids.
