Caleb’s Conference Adventure

By Carolina Marín

A true story from the USA.

Illustration of boy and mom sitting on a plane

I can’t believe we get to go to general conference in person!

It’s going to be special.

Look, Mom! We’re really here!

Whoa! That’s a lot of work!

They’re making it even stronger so it can last for many more years.

The next morning …

There’s Aunt Lauren and Eddie!

I feel really good inside.

That’s the Holy Ghost.

I loved being here to watch conference.

Can we come back again someday?

I hope so. But even if not, we still get to watch conference at home!
