We spent General Conference weekend in St. George. Rob wanted to practice on location for his upcoming Ironman, and Conference weekend was the perfect time to go: The kids were out of school for Good Friday, we didn't have to take care of our usual Sunday responsibilities... and the fact that it was Easter weekend was just frosting on the cake!
As we found our way around this beautiful town all weekend, we often quoted, "You are never lost when you can see the temple." No matter where we went in St. George, we could almost always see the temple. It really impressed upon us the feeling of surety that came with knowing that the temple--our source of guidance and direction--was always within view.
"As we touch the temple, the temple will touch us." --Pres. Thomas S. Monson
We walked around the grounds, took some pictures, smelled flowers, talked about how sparkling white this temple is... and just enjoyed the whole feeling of it all. We found a spot on the perfect grass to sit and talk about Easter and the Atonement of our Savior. Everyone contributed and bore testimony of the things they have known and felt about this wondrous Gift. It was the perfect Easter/Conference experience.
