| Craig and Brigham leaving the hotel for priesthood session |
Ellie had saved some money and wanted to donate it to Primary Childrens so that's what we did while Craig and Brigham were at priesthood session. We rode the Trax train up to the hospital. We were seated on the train by a group of men who all seemed to know each other. They were laughing and making jokes. One dropped a five dollar bill out of his pocket and another one picked it up and put it in his own pocket and insisted that it was his. A big laughing argument ensued about who the money belonged to, with Ellie and I chiming in. During the joke, we explained that we were on our way up to Primary Childrens to donate Ellie's savings. When they heard that, the whole group of men on the train started pulling money out of their pockets and giving it to Ellie to include with her donation. It was incredible. Until that point, I had been looking down on Salt Lake - it was too dirty, too many homeless people, too crowded, it took to long to get where you were going. That experience changed everything. It was wonderful.
After we got back from Primarys, we met Craig and Brigham for dinner. We waited 90 MINUTES to get a table at the cheesecake factory. It was okay but someone had spilled something under our table and it kept splashing up onto my ankles.

When we got back to the hotel, Hayes was waiting for us and he insisted that Brigham go back out with him to get something to eat. The rest of us went to sleep. The next morning we all went to the morning session, which was wonderful. It's good to actually attend the conference once in a while. The feeling, the music, being with the saints....It's great.
Such a good conference.
