Stake Conference Impressions-- New York, New York Stake of Zion

I think this was one of my most favorite stake conferences ever. (Stake Conference is where a few local congregations get together for weekend meetings under the direction of our ecclesiastical leadership, the Stake Presidency in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). It was fun to feel the personal connection I had with many of the speakers and to be able to identify with what they were saying. We had some great talks about missionary work!!! I felt the love. We also had some wonderful talks about stewardship and how to magnify callings (church volunteer work) faithfully, which I enjoyed and which gave me a lot to think about. I just got a new calling as Inwood 1 Ward Music Chair; hoping I can add to all the wonderful things already happening with Inwood music. It was great to hear testimonies and meet with good, fine, decent friends who are all striving to be better people and to follow Christ. It was also fun to visit the Shake Shack on the Upper West Side for the first time last night after the adult session. I give the 'shroom burger a 9 and the pumpkin spice concrete a 9 as well. I give the conference a 10. Also, big shout-out on the music for the conference, super organ playing and really nice choir, solo and ensemble pieces, thanks Matt Herrick for all your work. I love you everyone!!!!

UnLunDun-- read it :)

Perdido Street Station by China Mieville



Actually, the book I read was Un Lun Dun by China Mieville; I couldn't find it on Goodreads. This was a wonderful read. Great themes, fun plot twists, interesting characters (almost too many to remember), clever use of language, and a satisfying ending. I'm interested to try more by China Mieville.
