Cleaning the Conference Center

Last Sunday in gospel doctrine a guy passed around a sign up sheet for four people to help clean the conference center. I thought that sounded cool and would be really fun to do, but since we were all of the way in the back of the room and they only needed four people I thought our chances would be slim....well apparently this is a semi-normal thing for utah wards (not to mention the time was 9:30 to midnight) so when the list got all they way back to us there were only three people signed up! So even though they only wanted four people we both signed up and they got five!

Mike got to wear this cool vacuum and clean the seats and the backs of a bunch of chairs. We were there for about two hours and he probably cleaned about 300 chairs, not missing one inch because it had to be good quality cleaning! But, even 300 chairs looked like nothing with the room full of 21,000!! It is a pretty huge place.
I got the cool job! (Being pregnant does come with some sweet deals!) I got to dust the whole front of the stage, everything wood and since there was a lot of wood and we had to get every inch it took me almost the whole two hours. It was really cool to be right up in the front of the conference center where I had never been before. They did have a lot of security rules though, no one was allowed to go on the stage, so I got lucky to be the closest but still I wasn't allowed to go passed the top step of those stairs you can see behind me and I couldn't TOUCH anything but the base of the pulpit!! Kinda funny, but I obeyed! The pulpit was pretty cool. I new it was from a tree out of Pres. Hinckley's backyard but I didn't realize that it was a completely different wood than all of the rest! It really sticks out when your dusting!
