A Brand New Year
11-7-08
Thursday evening, at about four o'clock, Josh, Jana and I were dropped off at our ward building by our mom. We were meeting there with the young men and young women to drive down to Salt Lake.
All the young men got into the Jenks' Blueberry (their blue fifteen passenger van) and we started off. We drove and drove until we got to downtown Salt Lake City, and searched out some parking for the Conference Center "event". The Blueberry was to tall to fit in the parking garage, so we went to the north side of our destination and found a parking spot on the side of the road.
When we got to the Conference Center, there were (as always) a lot of people there trying to get in. But we found our way in and got into some seats in the first balcony on the right.
It started out with a guy coming out and talking to us about how it was going to work. Because we were the crowd for this thing. So he introduced all the main actor people and stuff then said that the first thing that was going to happen was a little opening thing and then Elder Jeffery R. Holland was going to speak.
The opening song was pretty cool. But it was dwarfed by Elder Holland's talk, which was all about the "new year of 2009" but it was really good all the same.
Continued in the next entry.

This sounds like such a fun experience! Did you know that the Hamptons were there the same night you were? I wonder who else was there! I can't wait to see the video at the new year!
