Mission Reunion and Conference Weekend

This past weekend we went to Utah for Ben’s mission reunion and for conference.We stayed at his companion Moises’ house in Kery, Utah. (It is always interesting to stay there because everyone speaks Spanish and I don’t understand anything. However Moises has been working on his English, so I was able to talk to them all a little bit. Saturday afternoon we went to a church to set up the mission reunion, everyone came and ate and talked and then we all watched the afternoon session together. After the session (Ben’s 2nd Mission President) Presidente Ramos and his wife both spoke. It was so great to see all of Ben’s old mission friends (although a lot of them were way to young to remember Ben) and to see him so happy.

After the reunion Ben, Moises, Pres Ramos and Brian (Sister Ramos’ nephew) were able to go together to the Priesthood session in the Conference Center. Although they were late and had no tickets they went anyway and were able to get seats on the bottom tear (really close to the front). While they were at that Silvia (Moises’ wife), Sister Ramos and I went to the ‘Ladies Night’ in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and got to look around and talk. It was so great to get to know both of them better.


Our Manly Barbeque-ers












Sunday we watched conference at Moises’ house with a WONDERFUL asado (barbeque) between sessions. Ben and Moises had a lot of fun being manly men and cooking all the meat.

On our way home from Utah we stopped in Layton for an hour to see Ben’s brother and his family. The kids are so cute and it was a crazy but fun stop.
