We were able to listen to General Conference last week end via the Internet on lds.org and on the Mormon Channel. This weekend it will be rebroadcast to the Saints in Kiribati. The translators have been very busy all week translating the different sessions into Kiribati.
Saturday morning the Priesthood session will be rebroadcast at 7:30 am, then the Saturday Morning at 10 am and the Saturday afternoon session at 1:00 pm. This will be followed by the General Relief Society meeting at 5:00 pm. So it will be a long day, but also an exciting one. On Sunday the two sessions will be replayed at 10:00 and 1:00 pm. Our stake will meet at the Moroni High chapel where it will be broadcast in English. Some of the classrooms will be used to broadcast conference in Kiribati.
The other stake center will broadcast conference on a similar session but it will be all in Kiribati.
Creative Grandchildren
Madison's Music Video is interrupted by her sister Anne who is Campaigning for a Student Council Office at her middle school. It was fun to watch.
Last year we posted a short video of Anne's video as she ran for a class office. Apparently, each candidate can make a video as part of their campaign speech. So Anne and her creative sisters prepared another video.
Other Family Updates
Kevin and Carrie won a free trip to Hawaii for a week, all expenses paid, so we are anxious to hear all about their trip after they return this weekend. Distance wise they are about one-half of the way to Kiribati (as the crow or Frigate birds fly). However, airplanes do not take the shortest route.
Jalene and one of her friends, who was a fairly recent convert to the Church, got tickets to attend General Conference at one of the Sunday sessions. Her friend was so excited to hear President Monson speak. They both made it back safely and had a great time.
Brian and Tracy have tickets to go to Greenland in March to watch the Northern Lights for their anniversary. It is a very unique present and we get to attend the grand kids while they are gone. That will be fun for us and hopefully for the kids.
All the Foisy girls are busy with piano, dance, ice skating and school activities and hopefully academics. Elizabeth has her own car, so she can get up and drive herself and Madison to early morning seminary. The school asked Madison to be an ambassador for for the school to welcome guests and new students. She was quite surprised when she was asked, but also excited.
Jeff's team took first place in their soccer tournament now he looks forward to wrestling. Drew, Luke, and Jorja are in a dual immersion program where they are learning Spanish at school. Brian reports they are starting to speak several words, and Jorja sings several Spanish songs.
