Laura Goes to Conference

Twice each year members of the Church travel to Salt Lake City to attend general conference. Some must travel long distances across oceans and continents, but Laura Egbert and her family live in Salt Lake City so they have only a short journey from their home to the Tabernacle. Attending conference is a new and exciting experience for Laura.
