General Conference- A week late

For those reading this that are not LDS, we have a worldwide conference every six months, the first weekend in April and October. The sessions this October were the 1st and 2nd.

Because New Zealand is 19 hours earlier than Salt Lake, the sessions each day that are broadcast to churches worldwide don't begin at the right time, so in New Zealand, they just watch recordings the following week. But because of they are streamed on the internet, it makes it quite interesting in deciding what to do.

What we did was watch the Saturday afternoon session live Sunday morning. Then we went to our normal church meetings in the afternoon. We watched portions of the Saturday morning session during the week. Then we watched the October 2 Sunday sessions on Sunday October 9.

Now I know that is not the least bit confusing.  Just think also that we have to try to remember when a good window is to call our kids in the USA. New Zealand has Daylight Savings Time, but it happens the end of September and the end of March, and it is the opposite of the US. So when we arrived in August (winter), Arizona was 5 hours difference and Utah 6 hours (minus a day). When we went on DST, that became 4 hours and 5 hours. When the US goes off DST, AZ will remain at 4 hours, and UT will be...it makes my head hurt.

Anyway, we just wanted to show us on the patio eating between sessions Sunday.
