Stake Conference, October 2010

Today was Stake Conference. It was a pretty good meeting! All the Alamo, San Ramon, and Danville stakes came together to the Inter-Stake Center in Oakland, near the Oakland Temple. Elder Malm, of the Quorum of the Seventy, spoke in the meeting. Oh yeah, and Jeff Reed sang in the Stake Choir as well. He was the only Deacon or Teacher from the Danville 2nd Ward in the choir!

Usually after Stake Conference, everybody has a tailgate lunch in the parking lot. But since it was so foggy  and rainy. Everybody wanted to go home or stay inside.

It was so foggy, you could barely see the Temple!

Jaren, Dallin, and I walked around the grounds a bit. We also talked to Rick and his family.

Then, Dallin, his family, and I went to the Visitor's Center and saw the "Reflections of Christ" exhibit. It was pretty cool! Here are some of our favorite pieces:

And that's all.

The Past Few Weeks

I know that I haven't posted anything for the past few weeks. I'll try to do better! But let me go through all the events that have happened lately.

 On October 15th, the Deacons Quorum went on an overnight campout on Angel Island, in the San Francisco Bay.

Their quorum split in two, and one group got to sail to Angel Island on Tay's dad's sailboat. The other group took a ferry to the island. They camped overnight there, and got to hike around to the old military forts.

On the 16th, while the Deacons were on Angel Island, The Teachers Quorum went to the Wurzbachs' house and helped them clean out their garage. It was actually kind of fun, because we got to eat pizza that Alex Lowe bought at Costco.

Then, that Sunday (October 17th), Alex Lowe moved on from the Teachers Qurorum to the Priests Quorum, because he had turned 16.

And thats pretty much it!

Another Temple Trip

Today, all the youth went on a trip to the Temple. First, we met at the church at 4:30. Dallin and his mom brought Costco pizza for all of us to eat. Then we hopped into the different cars and drove to the temple. Jeremy, Jeff, Jaren, Tay, Dallin, and I all got into Bishop Bromley's car. We then got to the Temple in Oakland. We first calmed ourselves down, and entered the Temple.

This trip to the Temple was kind of cool, because most of our names were from China. They were all born around 1860-1890, so they were actually born during the Qing Dynasty (I just looked that up on Wikipedia).

When we were all done, we walked out of the temple, and man, was the view beautiful. The sun had just set, so the sky was three layers of red, orange, and yellow. The lights in Oakland and
San Francisco lit up. It looked a little bit like this:

Afterwards, we drove back to the church, and went home.
