General Conference and Other Autumn Adventures

October's general conference was so amazing this year! The prophets are true messengers of God and I was glad we got to hear their words up at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. We went to see the the Saturday Afternoon session. We got there an hour early, so naturally, we had plenty of time to take some pictures up at Temple Square. It's always so neat to look at. I love learning about the history behind it. The weather was also perfect!

I was so glad we were able to enjoy Salt Lake without worrying about getting to our seats on time. Our tickets led us to really great seats! We got to see the prophet and the apostles so close! You feel more in tuned with the spirit when you hear the talks in person. During the Saturday afternoon session, all of the talks I heard were inspirational. One of the talks that stood out to me that day was the one from Dallin H. Oaks. He brought up a good point that we should be kind to others despite their differences. We left the conference center with uplifting council from our church leaders.

 That's how close we were!

We spent the Sunday afternoon session with Miles, Mikaela, and Chase at our apartment. It was so great to spend this time with our family members. Instead of cinnamon rolls, I made a new recipe called the cinnamon roll dutch apple pie. Yes, I found it on pinterest. :) That's where I find all my recipes or new ideas. Here's all my apple creations that I have made this month:

Aside from the food, things are going very well for us. Collin has just finished his midterms at BYU. He is currently looking for jobs that connect with his IT major. My job is going really well this year so far. I just got on fall break so I get some time to relax. I have also been working at my nanny job during the break, so that is something to do with my time. I'm really enjoying the fall weather we have been having lately in Utah. It gets so beautiful here around this time of year. I love taking pictures outside. I will end with this picture. More to come about fall break in my next post. :)
