Well, apparently it is easier to get tickets for General Conference in Utah than it is in Oregon. Any time we talked about getting tickets to Conference while we lived in Oregon, we were led to believe that they were kind of reserved for leadership and that it would be almost impossible to get enough for our family. So, imagine our surprise when we went to Stake Conference here in Tooele and they announced "If anyone would like tickets to General Conference let your bishop know how many you need." Of course, Lyle went immediately to our bishop and told him we would like 8 for our family. 2 weeks later our bishop handed Lyle an envelope with the tickets for Sunday afternoon session. We were so excited!!
We watched the morning session on regular broadcast TV. (Because you can do that in Utah. I am not even sure they showed it at the church other than Priesthood Session)
Then we left for Salt Lake. There was even a parking pass. Of course it was 5 blocks away, but it was free!! It was INSANE how many people were there. Lots of people asking for extra tickets along the walk to the Conference Center and outside it.
Really you are still watching it on big TV screens because you are far enough away that they look so little down by the pulpit. But it was awesome to be in the same room as a modern day Prophet and Apostles and the talks were great!!
