“At least we didn't have to go up and sing!”

Brockton, MA—Jordan Rocha, an 8 year-old in the Brockton Massachusetts
ward, experienced deeply conflictive feelings about stake conference over the
weekend.
“Well, for one thing, the car ride to Boston is so long and
boring, and Nathan (6 year-old younger brother) is so annoying,” reported the
young sister Rocha. She went on to explain that “Maggie (2 month old sister)
cried practically the whole way up there, but then mom let me have the whole
bag of goldfish crackers, so that was good.”
Getting to stake conference provided little relief for the young
Valiant. She stated that “we were clear back in the gym and you could hardly
see the people and we had those metal chairs and that is so annoying.” Still,
it was not all bad, as sister Rocha said that “I pretty much got to color the
whole time and I did a really nice picture of Princess Leia on a unicorn; it is
right here in my scripture bag, so I guess that was okay.” She concluded that “the
meeting went on FOREVER with people just talking and talking but I didn’t have
to go sister Peters’ class and see Tessa Greenwood who can be so annoying, so I
guess that was good too.”
It may or may not surprise the young sister Rocha that,
though they have different reasons for feeling that way, most members of the
Brockton ward including Jordan’s parents also experienced deeply conflictive feelings
about stake conference.
