Extra Credit: Friday and Saturday

My roommates family came to visit for the weekend. It just happens to be General Conference weekend too! I was so excited to see them because I have become close with them and they are so loving and caring. They arrived here Friday afternoon. She is actually an only child, so it was her parents and grandparents that came. Her grandparents are from Mexico, so they didn't speak English. They were super cute and nice though! When they got here, we went out to dinner at Olive Garden. I got my favorite meal, which is Fettuccine Alfredo and had unlimited salad and bread sticks for sure. Then Danielle, her mom, and I went to go see the new G.I. Joe movie, which was alright. It was kind of annoying that the original cast wasn't on this new one, but overall, it was an alright movie. We came back and went to bed because we had to get up for conference the next day. We woke up and got ready for the day, and went to Danielle's parents hotel to watch conference on their TV for the first session. After that, we went to lunch at the Roll Up Cafe, which is a wonderful crepe place on State Street. Then we all got into the mini van and drove up to SLC for the second session. We arrived about 20 minutes after it started and then went to the tabernacle to watch it since we didn't have tickets to see it at the conference center. After the afternoon session, we went shopping at the City Creek Mall for a couple of hours and then had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. It was super delicious and they give out huge portions. We came back to Provo to see our friend Mary open her mission call and she was called to the Baltic mission in Latvia. I have never heard of that mission before, but that is super exciting for her! I am so glad she decided to serve the Lord. All weekend I have had this bad toothache, and so I asked my friend to call some guys from our ward to walk over and give me a blessing, at about this time it was pretty late. Two guys came over and gave me a blessing. I would just like to say that I am grateful for the priesthood. They were so great! After that a group of us talked outside of our dorm for like an hour and a half. Then we came back and went to bed because it was late and we had to get up for conference again. Anyways, I just thought I would rant on about my productive last couple of days.
