1st Hike of the Season

Today, Greg and I went for our first hike of the season!

We hiked up City Creek to the campground, a round trip of about 5 miles. It was a beautiful mild day with just a few hikers and bikers on the trail. It is still early spring here.

The trees were still bare. The creek was clear and pretty as it gurgled through the rocks and logs.
The grass was emerald green and the currant bushes were just starting to bud. The bright red dogwood branches were still without leaves.

We passed several snow patches, and even had to take an alternate trail around an especially large snow patch.

There is still quite a bit of snow on the mountains.

It is supposed to get cold again this weekend; we may even get snow again. So I'm glad we were able to grab this one nice day!

Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Today in the Sunday Morning session of General Conference, Pres. Thomas S. Monson was the last speaker.

I have listened to many of his talks in the past. In some ways, this talk was like the other talks he has given before, but it was very different too. I think everyone who watched agreed that as he spoke, the mantle of the office of the prophet fell upon him.

It was a very spiritual experience, and strengthened my testimony that he truly is a prophet.
