I can’t believe 6 months have gone by already. I haven’t even posted anything since the last General Conference. Yikes! Well, even though I’ve been a slacker on the blog, I’m still going to do my notes as usual. Heading into this Conference, I haven’t heard any “rumours”, and there hasn’t been much talk that
