No More Visiting/Home Teaching!!!

This conference has been crazy! So many changes! I love that my kids never complain about watching every session of conference. Even Preston. It's the best. When President Oaks announced that President Nelson had a few short remarks, Stockton said, "Oh boy! Time to drop a bombshell." Boy was he right! He announced that the home teaching and visiting teaching program are now discontinued. They will be replaced by a 'ministering' program. Right after the announcement Preston said, "April Fools!" Hahaha! That would have been the best April Fools joke ever! It's interesting that there were two talks with ministering in the title during priesthood session. One by Eyring called Inspired Ministering and one by President Nelson called Ministering with the Power and Authority of God. Also, President Nelson ended the conference by announcing seven new temples! One in Richmond, Virginia where John and Cassie are. Another in a major city yet to be determined in Russia. The two temples closest to John and Cassie right now are being remodeled and are closed. Right now their closest temple is 5 hours away. How exciting this news was for them! What an amazing Easter and a fantastic conference. President Nelson sure hit the ground running!
