Welcome. We're so excited to have you all here at our second annual

Salt Lake City Mormon Stories Conference.

It's really fun to see everybody.

My name's Katrina Anderson. I will be conducting this first session today.

I'd like to thank everyone for being here for supporting this community.

This past year and a half that I've been a part of the Mormon Stories community.

I've made some of the best friends of my life.

I have, we've had book groups. We've had play dates.

We've had lunches and dinners and service projects and barbecues.

We've laughed together and we've cried together a few times.

I've shared my story and I've listened to your story.

And one of my buns is unbuttoned. That's embarrassing.

There we go.

I have found some of my people here in this crazy and marvelous state of Utah.

We come from different families in different places.

But the one thing we all have in common is that we are each on a journey.

Where our own Mormon Story is still being fun.
