Going to conference

[Winnie G]

My hubby and I are going to April conference,

Are any of you going?

We want to stay close to the trax so we can come and go with ease.

we are not willing to blow big $$$ so do any of you that live there have any ideas as to were to stay?

Also do any of you have any suggestions as to what to see while we are there?

I am a big used book store fan, I always go to Desseret Ind. for used books. i have a growing library of church books because of my thriftiness. (cheep) Lets call it what it is.

We would like to attend the Temple as well, i know it is closed though conference so is the day before or after a better time.

Finlay anyone want to meet for Lunch or a picnic on the grass during conference?

Check out Sam Weller's Zion Bookstore at 254 South Main St., a few blocks south from the Temple (At the Gallivan Center Trax Station).

I'm going to Conference in April too. But I'm not sure if I'll be able to get tickets I heard each ward gets like 6... and I need that many! I'm going to call my Bishop tonight. We just love to visit Temple Square, and go to the Theater in the Joseph Smith Bldg.

If you're into genealogy, they have a great genealogy library just outside of Temple Square.

Yes I am vary much in to genealogy and am jammed up on one side of the family the Wilson's side witch in Eng is like a one straw in a haystack, My husband also needs to get his line going. He has not started on his as of yet and he is from Newfoundland half Irish and half Scottish. Another haystack, I told my hubby of your suggestion and he thing we should extend our time in Salt lake by a day and spend some time at the library.

good idea thank you.

Any more ideas out there?

My husband and I are going and staying with his sister. We are bummed that they never announced the tickets were available, and so we we might not get to actually attend. Aparrantly all the tickets have been claimed for the whole stake??? We are bummed that it didn't get down to the ward level, but its not like the church will be any less true via a TV than in person. Ah the joys of a student ward.

Only means that students are a bit further down on the ticket chain.

Pretty much everything around temple square is filled with church history. The Museum of Church History and Art is just across the street from temple square to the west.

Here's a great link for you. Click on the little squares on the map for more info:
